It originated in 1999<ref>[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6396 RFC 6396], "The MRT format was initially defined in the MRT Programmer's Guide"</ref> as part of the development of the [https://web.archive.org/web/19991008153326/http://www.mrtd.net/ Multi-Threaded Routing Toolkit], from which it takes its name, but the format has outlived the original program, which ceased development in 2005<ref>The ".orig" file in [http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mrt/ the Debian archives], containing the upstream (from the Debian perspective) sources, is dated to April 2005; [https://web.archive.org/web/20061205060612/http://mrtd.net/ the website had also gone down by 2006]</ref>.
