Surfer announced Surfer MCP (Beta) on August 11, 2026. It lets MCP-compatible AI agents call Surfer's content and AI visibility tools. Surfer says it is rolling out gradually to Pro, Peace of Mind and Enterprise plans. This affects Surfer customers who work through AI agents.

What changed

• Workspace and brand knowledge.
