Why Polydev?
Stop copy-pasting between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Get all their perspectives in your IDE with one request.
"Different models have different blind spots. Combining their perspectives eliminates yours."
How It Works
Your Agent → Polydev MCP → [GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok] → Synthesized AnswerWhen your AI agent gets stuck, Polydev consults multiple frontier models simultaneously and returns their combined perspectives. One request, four expert opinions.

cp .env.example .env.localStep 3: Add your API keys to .env.local and run
npm run devIDE Configuration
Claude Code
One command:
claude mcp add polydev -- npx -y polydev-ai@latestOr add to ~/.claude.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"polydev": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "polydev-ai@latest"],
"env": {
"POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN": "pd_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}Cursor / Windsurf / Cline
Add to your MCP config (usually ~/.cursor/mcp.json or similar):
{
"mcpServers": {
"polydev": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "polydev-ai@latest"],
"env": {
"POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN": "pd_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}OpenAI Codex CLI
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.polydev]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "polydev-ai@latest"]
[mcp_servers.polydev.env]
POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN = "pd_your_token_here"
[mcp_servers.polydev.timeouts]
tool_timeout = 180
session_timeout = 600Usage
Once connected, your agent can call:
{
"tool": "get_perspectives",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "How should I refactor this authentication flow?"
}
}Or just mention "polydev" or "perspectives" in your prompt:
"Use polydev to debug this infinite loop"
"Get perspectives on: Should I use Redis or PostgreSQL for caching?"Use Your Existing CLI Subscriptions
