Questions
Can ChatGPT run e2b on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs e2b there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install e2b first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install e2b 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.
