Why Polydev?

Stop copy-pasting between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Get all their perspectives in your IDE with one request.

| Metric | Result | |--------|--------| | SWE-bench Verified | 74.6% Resolve@2 | | Cost vs Claude Opus | 62% lower | | Response time | 10-40 seconds |

"Different models have different blind spots. Combining their perspectives eliminates yours."

How It Works

Your Agent → Polydev MCP → [GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok] → Synthesized Answer

When your AI agent gets stuck, Polydev consults multiple frontier models simultaneously and returns their combined perspectives. One request, four expert opinions.

Quick Start

Option 1: Use Hosted Service (Recommended)

Get started instantly at polydev.ai

Step 1: Install the MCP server

npx polydev-ai@latest

Step 2: Set your token (get it from polydev.ai/dashboard/mcp-tokens)

export POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN="pd_your_token_here"

Option 2: Self-Host with Your Own API Keys

Step 1: Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/polydev-ai/polydev.git

cd polydev && npm install

Step 2: Configure environment

cp .env.example .env.local

Step 3: Add your API keys to .env.local and run

npm run dev

IDE Configuration

Claude Code

One command:

claude mcp add polydev -- npx -y polydev-ai@latest

Or 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 = 600

Usage

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

Already paying for ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, or Gemini Advanced? Use those subscriptions directly through your CLI tools.

| Subscription | CLI Tool | Setup | |--------------|----------|-------| | Claude Pro ($20/mo) | Claude Code | claude login | | ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo) | Codex CLI | codex login | | Gemini Advanced ($20/mo) | Gemini CLI | gemini login |

Polydev can route requests through your authenticated CLI sessions — your subscription quota is used, no extra API costs.

Self-Hosting

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• PostgreSQL (or Supabase)
• API keys for the models you want to use

Environment Variables

Create a .env.local file:

# Database
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your_supabase_url
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_anon_key
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=your_service_role_key

# AI Providers (add the ones you want)
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GOOGLE_API_KEY=...
XAI_API_KEY=...

Database Setup

cd supabase && supabase db push

Run

npm run dev

Research

Our approach achieves 74.6% on SWE-bench Verified (Resolve@2), matching Claude Opus at 62% lower cost.

| Approach | Resolution Rate | Cost/Instance | |----------|-----------------|---------------| | Claude Haiku (baseline) | 64.6% | $0.18 | | + Polydev consultation | 66.6% | $0.24 | | Resolve@2 (best of both) | 74.6% | $0.37 | | Claude Opus (reference) | 74.4% | $0.97 |
