Install

brew install picocom

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

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

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