AI coding tool
GlossaryA development environment with an integrated LLM agent — Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, v0, Copilot.
Definition
AI coding tools are code editors, IDEs, or CLI tools with an integrated large language model agent that can read, write, and run code. Prominent examples include Cursor (VS Code fork with an agent), Anthropic's Claude Code (terminal agent), Codeium's Windsurf, GitHub Copilot (chat + autocomplete), Vercel's v0 (UI codegen), bolt.new, Lovable, and Replit Agent. These tools increasingly support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to call external services during code generation.
Why it matters for form backends
FormLoom's primary distribution channel is these tools. When a developer asks their AI coding tool to 'add a contact form,' FormLoom's MCP server ensures the agent generates working FormLoom code instead of wiring up a form by hand.
