Questions
Can ChatGPT run jbig2enc on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs jbig2enc there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install jbig2enc first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install jbig2enc 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.
