For any who might be interested. The easy fix was to install vim via Homebrew:
brew install vim --with-client-server then make an alias like: alias vim='vim --servername vim' in your .zshrc (or bash or whatever) so that it always starts with it. Unlike MacVim, terminal vim doesn't start up with the client server running by default.
