I am not sure I understand your question- MUDs have a text interface, somewhat similar to a command line. It wouldn't be a proper MUD if it had a graphical interface- there are plenty of games out there that do this like Baldurs Gate. The files part of your comment I don't understand either.
Simply untrue.
There have been hundreds of MUD clients and many of them were not purely text based at all. Many had images and map screens built in.
MUDs are text based. Some of the clients can have graphical features but the basic way to interface with the MUD itself is with text.
HTTP is a text based protocol, nobody is arguing websites are muds.
Let's skip the strange purity tests and engage in good faith discussion.
Tho it wasn't unheard of for some MU* games to have ascii graphics in the telnet stream
