Install

brew install spark

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

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

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