brew install nikto

“Update nikto and tell me what changed”

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

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