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