Cotality Launches a Universal Connector for AI: Unveiling its MCP server and AI-Ready Property Intelligence

Cotality™, a leading global property information, analytics, and data-enabled solutions provider, announced the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and AI-Ready Data assets. This introduces a "universal translator and connector" for the property industry. AI-ready data is a “translator” for AI models and agents to understand the meaning behind the values, while the MCP server is a “connector” for AI models and agents to connect to trusted property intelligence. This provides the standardized framework and precise intelligence required for real-world, autonomous orchestration.

As property professionals shift toward automation, Cotality is addressing a critical underlying challenge: ensuring data is AI-ready. Cotality’s data foundation fuels AI-powered outputs users can trust.

Data built for AI: translating property data into meaning

Cotality AI-ready data goes beyond data standardization. Each dataset is delivered with a semantic companion file, so AI systems understand not just what the data says, but what it means in real-world property decisions. This foundation enables high-fidelity AI outcomes -- by supporting natural language queries, faster deployment, and secure, compliant use at scale.

The Universal Connector: grounding AI in facts, not assumptions

AI only delivers value when it is grounded in trusted data. The new Cotality MCP Server acts as a universal connector between AI models and Cotality’s trusted data foundation. Built on the Model Context Protocol, it allows AI systems and frameworks that accept the MCP standard to securely discover and retrieve exact property and location insights in real time.

"Property data is historically fragmented, non-standardized, and complex, which often leads AI models to hallucinate and produce unreliable results. Our clients want best-in-class Cotality data and analytics to enable fiduciary-grade AI that they can rely on,” said Devi Mateti, President, Enterprise Digital Solutions at Cotality. “Our MCP Server, grounded in high-quality Cotality data and analytics, can empower true agentic-powered orchestration, enabling clients to automate complex property workflow with verified facts, not best guesses.”

The CoreAI™ Advantage: intelligence ready to act

By embedding adaptive CoreAI intelligence—powered by Google Cloud—into every layer of its solutions, Cotality ensures that property data is ready to act within a client’s secure environment. This ecosystem includes:

  • The Anchor with CLIP® ID: A persistent, single source of truth for every property record, eliminating manual matching.
  • AI-Ready Assets: All Cotality Property 360 datasets can be delivered with companion YAML files (following the Open Semantic Interchange (OSI) standard) that act as a "translator," explaining the meaning behind data fields so AI can understand them without extra setup.
  • The Universal AI Plug (MCP): Securely connect your AI model of choice to real-time CLIP IDs, property details, climate risk assessments, and market trends with our native MCP server.
  • Instant Insights via Aly™: Ask Aly questions about any property and receive answers in seconds instead of hours (available in beta via Araya™).
  • GenAI Applications: Tools like Property Vision™ and MLS-Touch™ that apply generative intelligence to specific workflows.

Built for secure, scalable AI workflows

The Cotality MCP Server is designed for production-grade workflows, including underwriting, valuation, and risk analysis. It simplifies AI integration by providing a standardized, governed connection between AI systems and trusted data, helping reduce reliance on custom, one‑off integrations. This approach keeps data secure and under the client’s control, while ensuring traceability and compliance at every step.

By bringing these elements together, Cotality helps organizations move to the agentic AI era with focus on driving productivity, new value props, and faster time to market.
