Surge releases iOS 6 beta on TestFlight with MCP server for AI agents

Surge has released its iOS 6 beta on TestFlight, rebuilt for iOS 26 with a new Home screen, Liquid Glass design, and versioned profiles.

The update adds an MCP server that lets AI agents such as Claude Code control Surge in the same way as its command-line tool, surge-cli, according to a Surge announcement relayed on X.

Surge says iOS 6.0 is a free update with many interface and core engine improvements. The new Home screen, Profile History, and the MCP server require an active update subscription. Surge says users whose subscription has expired can try every feature free for 7 days.
