No such beast.
Calibre is currently a single system program(it is run on any of the supported platforms)
There is a (read/fetch only) part that allows a remote to browse or fetch a copy using a standard web browser. No data changes are possible. It is called the Calibre content server and is configured in Preferences: Sharing... No limit (only O/S limited) on number of users.
The GUI is the normal way data is added or changed. Only one of these may access the Library at one time.
Another way to maintain data is Client-Host (Remote control) where the client (any OS) accesses the host using VNC or something similar. This works cross platform, the only warning is to
Not set the host to reboot on loss of connection.
