Could you build this?

Partial A remote-control agent exposed as an MCP endpoint is buildable with vibe coding. Doing it securely without open ports needs a relay service, strong auth, and sandboxing, which are hard to get right and dangerous to get wrong.

What it would actually take: The architecture is a cross-platform background agent that maintains an outbound-only connection to a hosted relay, which exposes an MCP server for AI clients. The hard parts are authenticated, least-privilege command execution and reliable NAT-free connectivity. Building these well requires security engineering and infrastructure experience, not just app code.
