Install

brew install dcm2niix

“Install dcm2niix with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read dcm2niix --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update dcm2niix and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run dcm2niix on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs dcm2niix there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install dcm2niix first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install dcm2niix 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.
