Can't get MCP running on 0.6.69

[ssartor]

I defined a simple 1 tool (filesystem) mcp.json file as per the documentation and verified that it ran. Then tried:
'rapid-mlx serve qwen3.5-4b --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen --mcp-config /Volumes/AI/mcp.json'. I got the following:
INFO:vllm_mlx.mcp.config:Loading MCP config from: /Volumes/AI/mcp.json
INFO:vllm_mlx.mcp.manager:Starting MCP client manager with 0 servers
INFO:vllm_mlx.mcp.manager:MCP manager started: 0/0 servers, 0 tools available
INFO:vllm_mlx.server:MCP initialized with 0 tools
Tried this:
curl http://localhost:8000/v1/mcp/status
{"detail":"Not Found"}%
And this:
curl http://localhost:8000/v1/mcp/tools
{"tools":[],"count":0}%
I get the same result (no tools) when i use 'auto' for --tool-call-parser

Not sure what to try from here...
