Install

brew install fzf-tab

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

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

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