Windsurf
FreemiumAI-powered code editor with Cascade agent, memory, and MCP support, trusted by 1M+ developers to write 94% of their code with AI assistance.
What is Windsurf?
Windsurf is a next-generation AI coding editor built by Codeium, designed to keep developers in a state of creative flow by handling the repetitive and boilerplate-heavy parts of coding automatically. At its core is Cascade, an agentic AI engine that understands your entire codebase context, remembers your preferences, auto-fixes lint errors, executes terminal commands in Turbo mode, and interprets drag-and-drop image inputs to build UI from designs. Trusted by over 1 million developers and 4,000+ enterprise customers, Windsurf writes 94% of code via AI, supports MCP server integrations, and works seamlessly across solo projects, teams, and enterprise environments.
