Does `env.cr` only work when on a local server?

When I execute

from odooly import *
cl = Client.from_config('testing')
env = cl.env

env.cr

I get the following error

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

--> 613             if self.client.version_info < 8.0 else self.registry.cursor())

--> 618         return self.client._server._get_pool(self.db_name)
    619 
    620     def __call__(self, user=None, password=None, context=None):

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_get_pool'

Looking at the Odooly source, it seems to me that env.registry only exists if env.client._server was set with start_odoo_services. Is there a way to get a cursor on a remote server? Or more to the point, can I use Odooly to execute an SQL query on a remote server?

Thanks.

The cursor stuff is only a helper in local mode, there's no way to grab a cursor remotely through RPC. Same for SQL query on the server. This would be a major security issue if Odoo allow such remote access to the SQL interface.
