Questions

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

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