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

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