brew install psgrep

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

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

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