Install

brew install python-setuptools

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

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

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