This video demonstrates how Telnet can remain relevant in the age of AI agents through MCP (MUD Client Protocol) implementation. Learn how to use an MCP Telnet Client to enable AI interaction with telnet servers like NIST and Telehack. Discover a new protocol framework for building custom telnet servers that AI can interact with via traditional telnet or websockets. Watch as Chris Hay showcases a GPT-4o AI agent playing Guess Who over telnet using MCP and his MCP-CLI tool. The presentation covers telnet demonstrations, MCP CLI usage, telnet protocol fundamentals, custom server development, telnet proxy implementation, Xterm Web integration, and detailed configuration steps. All source code is available through GitHub repositories including MCP Telnet Client, MCP CLI, Telnet Proxy Server, Protocol Server, and XTerm Web.
