Direct Image Generation in Windsurf

Cascade pulls the `generate` and `generate_v3` tools to create assets without leaving your editor. You describe the visual, and the agent handles the rendering logic. It handles complex text layouts inside your images better than standard models. This makes it a reliable choice for building UI mockups or site branding assets.

Automated Asset Editing

Use `edit` or `edit_v3` to modify existing files directly. Cascade identifies the mask and applies your changes while keeping the original composition. This MCP Server allows for specific adjustments like face swaps or re-texturing. You define the prompt, and the agent executes the change.

Background and Resolution Tools

The `replace_background` tool isolates your subject and swaps the environment using only text instructions. It saves you from manual masking in external software. When you need higher fidelity, call `upscale` or `reframe` to adjust your assets. It keeps your project folder clean by managing the output sizes automatically.
