Windsurf

A polished, AI-first IDE that emphasizes agentic flow, live previews, and integrated deployments. Windsurf’s “do it here” philosophy means less switching between tools and more time building. Cascade, Previews, Deploys, and MCP integrations create a cohesive development experience.

  • Previews & Deploys: Live website preview inside the IDE with clickable elements, plus one-click app deployment without leaving Windsurf.
  • Autocomplete & Commands: Tab autocomplete, in-line command (Cmd+I) for refactors, terminal natural-language commands, and Supercomplete features.
  • Model optionality: Access to premium models from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, xAI, and more.
  • Extensibility: MCP plugin support and a plugin store for tools like Figma, Slack, Stripe, GitHub, Supabase, and more.
