Install

brew install cloudflared

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

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

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