Install

brew install tnftp

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

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

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