MPD clients request newer version of MPD

Q&A
1

Hello.
I’ve just installed mopidy and two MPD clients (mpc and ncmpc) on my debian computer. Mopidy seems to work fine itself, but both clients say they require at least 0.21.0 MPD version to work. I’ve also tried to run graphical client (Ario) and it also doesn’t seem to work. My goal is to play music from files in ~/Music. I’ll appreciate any help available. Here are my details:
