Install

brew install qrtool

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

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

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