Agentic IDE with Cascade — connect MCP servers for tools, docs, and live project context.
About
Windsurf (formerly Codeium’s Windsurf Editor) is an agentic IDE designed to keep you in flow. Cascade can collaborate like a copilot or take multi-step actions as an agent — and MCP servers plug those actions into real tools and data.
Add filesystem, browser, GitHub, databases, and more so Cascade can read, write, and verify work against live systems.
Highlights
- Cascade agent with MCP tool access
- Flow-oriented editing with deep codebase awareness
- JSON MCP config for local and remote servers
- Familiar VS Code–style extensions and workflow
