brew install tidy-viewer

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

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

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