I'm now looking into implementing MCP into a circle-based mud (having hacked my way through MXP, MSP and MCCP with some help) but it appears the primary pages at www.moo.mud.org are gone and I can't seem to find much about how to kick start the whole process.

Are MCP commands sent as plain text, in that I can literally send "#$#mcp-version: 1.0 to: 2.1" to the client and receive a response, or is it similar to MXP/MSP/MCCP where I need to deal with telnet negotiations?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

But that doesnt seem to be complete, and the link isnt any good. So, theres a longer one at zuggsoft.

Yes, its telnet negotiation.

Those pages are for MCCP (mud client compression protocol)...I'm chasing the implementation of MCP (mud client protocol).

From what I can find on the subject, it's all MOO related - has anyone implemented it on a circle mud (MCP that is)? Is there really any benefit in doing so?

It actually has a link to:
http://www.moo.mud.org/mcp/mcp2.html

So those pages are still around, just have to do a little googling.

And yeah, I think MCP is all moo related. Doesnt seem to have much use with Diku derivatives. Im hardly learned in the matter though.
