Use Node.js and npm with ChatGPT and Claude

• MacWorks
• WindowsWorks
• LinuxWorks

“Run npm test in ~/code/web and fix the failing test”
“Start the dev server and tell me when it is ready”
“Which dependencies in package.json are out of date?”

BCD runs npm, npx and node, keeps dev servers running in a process session and reads their output, so the AI can start a server, test it and fix code.

• Long-running servers keep running until stopped; ask the AI to stop them when done.

Do I need Node.js and npm installed?
Node.js installed on the computer.

Does it work on Windows and Linux?
Mac: works, Windows: works, Linux: works.

Which AI apps can do this?
ChatGPT (BCD is in its plugin directory), Claude (as a custom connector) and other apps that support MCP connectors, including Codex. They all use the same computer with the same permissions.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only. Writing files, running commands and controlling apps are turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
