brew install boost-build

“Install boost-build with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read boost-build --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update boost-build and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run boost-build on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs boost-build there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install boost-build first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install boost-build 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.
