I received this error when i did not have a couchdb admin account configured, e.g.:

npm run copy --npm-registry-couchapp:couch=http://localhost:5984/registry

Make sure you have at least one user in the database:

curl -X PUT http://localhost:5984/_config/admins/username -d '"password"'

Then retry using the credentials:

npm run copy --npm-registry-couchapp:couch=http://username:password@localhost:5984/registry
