Partial Exposing arbitrary remote desktop terminal sessions safely across NATs to an LLM via an MCP protocol requires complex remote connectivity infrastructure, PTY management, and strict security sandboxing.
What it would actually take: The product requires a lightweight native daemon (Go or Rust) running on the target machine that manages virtual pseudo-terminals (pty/winpty), communicates over an encrypted WebRTC or WebSocket tunnel (like Tailscale/WireGuard or relay servers), and interfaces with the MCP specification. The major difficulty is secure peer-to-peer traversal, platform-specific terminal emulation across Windows and macOS, and fine-grained authorization safeguards to prevent destructive AI agent execution.
