That worker task upmpddb essentially duplicates the "mpc update" command by an alternative method which would work for you on your mac if you don't want to try building mpc from source.
The alternative method is to use the MPD protocol via telnet. Here's an example on my Linux laptop:
MPD is listening on port 6600, and the first line is just me invoking telnet to connect to that port on my moode player "moode3a".
The "OK MPD 0.21.11" response indicates I've successfully connected to MPD.
I entered "update" (and hit return) and the next two lines are the response. I then left telnet idle and MPD tore down the connection after it timed out.
I'm sure you have telnet. Sorry I didn't think of it before.
