(Nasdaq: AGNT), today unveiled its Model Context\nProtocol (MCP) strategy at eXpcon® in Salt Lake City. The initiative, MCP\nFirst, AI of Choice, uses the emerging MCP standard to plug the AI assistant\nagents already trust — Claude, ChatGPT, or whatever they reach for —\nstraight into their eXp® business data.\n\nRather than building a closed, eXp-branded chatbot, the company is opening a\nstandardized connection layer: agents authorize the connection, then connect\nthe AI tool they already use every day, inside that same chat window, to their\nown production numbers, leads, transactions, training progress, and CRM\nrecords. No new interface to learn and no switching tabs.\n\n“Every company in this industry is racing to build the best AI assistant,”\nsaid Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. “We asked a different question: why\nshould agents have to change how they work at all? ‘MCP first, AI of\nChoice’, means agents keep using the AI they already trust. We’re making\nsure it can hear from eXp.”\n\nThis move builds on eXp's history as a technology disruptor; from launching\nthe industry’s first cloud-based brokerage to pioneering agent equity\nownership at scale. It’s also the first visible piece of a much larger\nmodernization effort underway inside the company, internally known as AGNT™\nOS: a rebuild of the systems that manage how agents close deals and get paid.\nBuilt on the Nexus platform and developed by eXp International, AGNT OS is\ntargeted for early 2027.\n\n“MCP is the front door, and AGNT OS is the whole house,” Pareja said.\n“This isn’t a patch on our existing systems - it’s a full modernization\nof how eXp runs, built agent-first from the ground up.
