Perplexity

Direct image generation in Windsurf

Trigger `text_to_image` directly from your Cascade chat to get photorealistic outputs without leaving your editor. Cascade parses your prompt and handles the parameters for you. Type your description and watch the results appear in your workspace. You skip the browser entirely and keep your focus on the code.

Manage assets with Adobe Firefly tools

Use `upload_image` to pull external files into your session. Once they are in the sandbox, you can call `remove_background` or `generative_fill` to modify your assets. Cascade handles the sequence of these operations automatically. It chains the tool calls to deliver the final edited image.

Create text effects and vector graphics

Run `text_effects` or `text_to_vector` to produce design assets within your project structure. These tools generate high-quality outputs based on your specific style requirements. Your MCP Server makes these assets available for your UI components immediately. You stop switching tabs and start building faster.
