Install

brew install unxip

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

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

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