Bug Description

The plugin for IDE integration does not auto-install if working with windsurf-next

Steps to Reproduce

  1. open Terminal in windsurf-next IDE
  2. run claude
  3. execute /ide
  4. message: No available IDEs detected. Make sure your IDE has the Claude Code extension or plugin installed and is running

Expected Behavior

Auto-install of the claude code plugin

Actual Behavior

plugin is not being installed

Additional Context

windsurf-next CLI command is located at /usr/bin/windsurf-next I symlinked it to ~/.local/bin/windsurf which is in PATH to make windsurf CLI command available. Still no luck

Follow up Same behavior for windsurf (not windsurf-next). windsurf 1.10.3 on Arch installed from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/windsurf

Installed claude code from vsix that comes with npm package (on my machine /home/gbr/.nvm/versions/node/v22.13.0/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/claude-code.vsix). Icon is there and starts terminal with claude. But /ide still says: "No available IDEs detected."

Behavior:

  • Keyboard command Ctrl + Alt + K focuses in the claude code terminal but does not add line reference.
  • Claude code is not aware of active Tabs

Same! This is on a Windows laptop using Windsurf and Git Bash. This works fine on my Macbook laptop though. This was working find before the latest 1.0.81 update to Claude Code.

My extension in Windsurf appears to be 1.0.78 and not longer updates

Same here. I couldn't even find the extension in the IDE search bar, I had to manually download it from open-vsx in order to get it to work. May be an issue with Windsurf default marketplace?

Windsurf version: 1.12.2 Claude Code version: 1.0.88 OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3
