I disabled the check of Mopidy port 6680, file /etc/monit/monitrc.d/mopidy

check process mopidy with pidfile /var/run/mopidy.pid  
start program = "/etc/init.d/mopidy start"  
stop program = "/etc/init.d/mopidy stop"  
restart program = “/etc/init.d/mopidy restart”  
#if failed port 6680 protocol http for 10 cycles then restart

Strange that monit has failure on port, I cant see/hear any problem running MusicBox / Mopidy and  
/var/log/mopidy/mopidy.log has no error.
