Could you build this?
Partial A CLI and agent-facing wrapper is buildable, but a reliable multi-protocol remote desktop stack (RDP, VNC, Android) requires protocol-level expertise, though existing libraries like FreeRDP reduce the burden.
What it would actually take: Build on existing protocol libraries (FreeRDP for RDP, libvncclient for VNC, ADB for Android) and expose them through a CLI and agent-friendly API such as MCP. The difficult parts are low-latency screen capture and input injection, multi-monitor handling, and cross-platform session sharing. Systems-level networking and graphics experience is needed to make it robust.
