Windsurf is an AI-powered code editor that combines local and cloud agents to help developers write code faster. It features Cascade, an agent that understands the codebase and can code, fix, and think ahead; Devin, an autonomous cloud agent that handles complex tasks like debugging and deployment; and Tab, a powerful autocomplete that can perform multiple actions with a single keystroke. Windsurf also supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for connecting custom tools and services, automatic lint fixing, drag-and-drop image integration, an Agent Command Center for managing sessions, and Spaces for bundling task context. The editor is available as a standalone IDE and as a plugin for JetBrains IDEs.
