Install

brew install minicom

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

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

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