Questions
Can ChatGPT run valkey on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs valkey there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install valkey first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install valkey 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.
