NewCirMUD is now supporting Generic MUD Communication Protocol (GMCP) based on standards as best as can be determined. GMCP gives clients (human and AI) an easier way to get basic information already available to a player. Instead of needing parse through ever changing fields of text for statistics to display in a stats bar, GMCP provides out-of-band data in JSON format that can easily be processed a MUD client.
The details for the implementation can be found in GMCP.md. It can easily be extended in the future as needed.
