Features include Magic Chat for AI-powered UI generation from natural language, Magic MCP for component generation directly inside AI IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf, a CLI for semantic search and one-command install, AI variant generation, component publishing, and an Agents SDK for deploying AI agents with sandboxed execution, streaming, and observability.
