ncmpc used to be this simple little thing, now it seems to be a C++ mess that doesn't even have backward compatibility (so here sticking with an old version thats works with MPD). Ref. patches, I use a cheap Amazon RF remote to control MPD - essentially a bit of code that receives button clicks and controls volume. forward/back etc. Low tech FTW :)
