Windsurf released significant updates in September, from version 3.9.19 to 3.10.23, focusing on agent management, workflow efficiency, and expanded model integrations.
Agents and Workflow
- Remote agent hosts: SSH to agents from the location selector with saved hosts, status indicators, and automatic transcript restoration after reconnects.
- Agent location picker: Select between Local, Worktree, and Cloud agents with a searchable submenu for easy worktree navigation.
- Batch inbox actions: Per-row checkboxes in the inbox list view enable bulk archiving or unarchiving of sessions.
- Checkout branch improvements: The command now finds local clones and worktrees, offering a selection dialog when multiple matches exist.
Models and Integrations

- MCP server support: Agents can now use MCP servers passed by ACP clients, including HTTP and SSE servers, visible in the /mcp list.
Interface and Review
