brew install html2text

“Install html2text with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read html2text --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update html2text and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run html2text on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs html2text there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install html2text first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install html2text 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.
