You don't understand the concept. You can't just use GMPC. It's used to
control the MPD, but it can't capture it's output (music you'd like to
listen). To be able to listen that music on your laptop, you need to use
some media player that can play network stream, just as you would do
with internet radio station.

It seams that there is actually a way to use only GMPC (kinda, as you
still need mplayer installed):
http://blog.sarine.nl/2011/02/06/gmpcmpdssh-listen-to-your-music-from-home-at-work/
You don't need that ssh port forwarding to make it work, but if you
don't limit mpd http port to your laptop's address, anyone could capture
that stream. Not really a issue if it's on your local network.
I haven't tried this and it's a little old article, but I guess it will
work.

PO

If I understood correctly, you have a NAS box/server that hosts your
media. You installed mpd on that box and you want to control it from
your laptop, but you also want to hear music from that box on your
laptop. It wont work that way. GMPC is a client application to control
mpd so you can start, stop, pause etc. your music, but to actually hear
it on your laptop, you need to configure mpd audio_output{} in your
mpd.conf
By default, it will send sound to it's local sound card (pulse audio or
alsa). You can instead send that sound on some port as
httpd type and stream it so it can be captured by some external
application.
