brew install pngpaste

“Read pngpaste --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update pngpaste and tell me what changed”

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

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