Questions
Can ChatGPT run asitop on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs asitop there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install asitop first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install asitop for you.
Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
