Current use and fit

The current MUD Standards overview describes Grapevine itself as apparently dead.

Implementation essentials

  • Treat existing integrations as migration or archival concerns.

Compatibility and safety notes

  • Do not make a new architecture depend on an inactive external service.

Original specifications and sources

Where an original site has disappeared, a preservation archive is linked and identified as such. MUDVerse does not claim authorship of the original protocol.
