that must be why the first page of the settings is "library" with the 
IP-Adress of your mpd server and other then you i am using mpd/canata 
for many years :-)

About: Qt5 Graphical MPD Client

don't get me wrong but do you even know what MPD is?
https://www.musicpd.org/

a music player / server without any interface, the interface is by 
definition a seperate application like canatata or android apps 
connecting to mpd via tcp which can run on localhost but don't need to
