Install

brew install mupdf-tools

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

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

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