Windsurf is a VS Code fork (originally from Codeium), featuring a flow-based AI agent that maintains context across multi-step coding tasks. As of June 2 2026 it is part of Cognition's Devin product line — the app was rebranded to Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) via an over-the-air update, and the local agent previously called Cascade was rewritten and renamed Devin Local (Cascade is EOL July 1 2026). The IDE, MCP connections, keybindings, and pricing carried over.
The agent natively integrates with MCP — stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE transports, OAuth auth, up to 100 tools across connected servers. Devin Desktop also adds open Agent Client Protocol (ACP) support, so external agents (Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode) can run inside it.
Windsurf's main differentiator — renamed Devin Local in the June 2026 rebrand (Rust rewrite, ~30% more token-efficient, subagent support). It maintains a "flow" of context as you work:
Enhanced autocomplete that predicts your next edit based on recent changes — not just the next token, but the next logical action.
Choose between several frontier and Windsurf-native models:
The agent natively integrates with MCP — stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE transports, OAuth-authenticated, up to 100 tools across connected servers. Configure via mcp_config.json, the in-app marketplace, or remote HTTP endpoints.
