Wrong Binary Path Used during Installation #2722

Platform

GitHub release archive / install.sh / install.ps1

What happened, and what did you expect?
When using codebase-memory-mcp install it correctly detects cbm to be managed externally by mise (including the correct path) according to the logs:
❯ codebase-memory-mcp install
codebase-memory-mcp install 0.12.1
Binary is managed elsewhere by mise:
$HOME/.local/share/mise/installs/github-deus-data-codebase-memory-mcp/latest/codebase-memory-mcp
Leaving it and your PATH untouched; configuring agents only.
(use --force-binary to install a copy into $HOME/.local/bin anyway)
But it will still use $HOME/.local/bin/codebase-memory-mcp in all mcp & plugin files afterwards, which is wrong and does not exist.

Reproduction
- Install cbm using e.g. mise
- Run
codebase-memory-mcp install - Check one of the generated mcp definitions
- Notice it used
$HOME/.local/bin/codebase-memory-mcpinstead of$HOME/.local/share/mise/installs/github-deus-data-codebase-memory-mcp/latest/codebase-memory-mcp
Logs
❯ codebase-memory-mcp install
codebase-memory-mcp install 0.12.1
Binary is managed elsewhere by mise:
$HOME/.local/share/mise/installs/github-deus-data-codebase-memory-mcp/latest/codebase-memory-mcp
Leaving it and your PATH untouched; configuring agents only.

Found XX existing index(es). Keeping them. After install, re-index to pick up this version's improvements:

No CBM session needs to stop for install: the published binary and indexes are unchanged.

This is NOT a windows specific issue, this is happening on macOS.

Thank you for the mise installation output and for correcting the platform. The reported mismatch is between the detected managed binary and the path written into client configuration. Sorry for the delay; I’ll follow up on that integration path soon.

Fixed on main by #2822 (merge commit 70f6de8), thanks to @divakantpandey: when codebase-memory-mcp is installed through mise, Homebrew, nix, asdf or cargo,
installnow writes the binary's real path into agent configs instead of a ~/.local/bin path that does not exist on those setups. After updating, runcodebase-memory-mcp installonce to rewrite existing entries. Thank you for the report!
