Use Python with ChatGPT and Claude
Write and run Python scripts on your computer from ChatGPT or Claude, with real files and real output.
Works on
- MacWorks
- WindowsWorks
- LinuxWorks
Try asking
“Write a script that renames the files in Scans by the date in their text, and run it”
“Run the tests in ~/code/tool and fix what fails”
“Set up a virtualenv for this project and install requirements.txt”
How it works
BCD writes files, runs python and keeps longer runs in a process session, so the AI can run a script, read the error and fix it in place.
Limits
- Commands run as your user, with your files; give write and command permission only on computers you mean to.
Questions
Do I need Python installed?
Python 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.
