When were Windsurf's facts last verified?

2026-08-14. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.

Windsurf's agent, Cascade, "natively integrates with MCP" per its documentation, consuming a server's tools, resources, and prompts over stdio, streamable HTTP, or SSE, each with OAuth support. Servers are configured in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, which supports environment-variable and file interpolation for secrets, and the agent caps its working set at 100 tools at any given time.

The product identity is in transition: the documentation now lives under docs.devin.ai with Devin as the primary product name and Devin Local as the default agent, while the Windsurf name survives in configuration paths and deeplinks. No MCP spec revision is named anywhere in the docs, so revision support is recorded as unknown.

How was this verified, and what are the sources?
