Install

brew install shc

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

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

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