brew install docker-agent

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

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

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