Install

brew install hexyl

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

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

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