Questions

Can ChatGPT run html2markdown on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs html2markdown there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install html2markdown first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install html2markdown 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.
