2. Install in your IDE
Claude Code
claude mcp add polydev -- npx -y polydev-ai@latest
Then set your token:
export POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN="pd_your_token_here"
Or add to ~/.claude.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"polydev": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "polydev-ai@latest"],
"env": {
"POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN": "pd_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"polydev": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "polydev-ai@latest"],
"env": {
"POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN": "pd_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Windsurf
Add to your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"polydev": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "polydev-ai@latest"],
"env": {
"POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN": "pd_your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Cline (VS Code)
- Open Cline settings (gear icon)
- Go to "MCP Servers" → "Configure"
- Add the same JSON config as above
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
Natural Language
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 polydev to review this API for security issues"
MCP Tool
Call the get_perspectives tool directly:
{
"tool": "get_perspectives",
"arguments": {
"prompt": "How should I optimize this database query?",
"user_token": "pd_your_token_here"
}
}
Example Response
🤖 Multi-Model Analysis
┌─ GPT 5.2 ────────────────────────────────────────
│ The N+1 query pattern is causing performance issues.
│ Consider using eager loading or batch queries...
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────
┌─ Claude Opus 4.5 ────────────────────────────────
│ Looking at the execution plan, the table scan on
│ `users` suggests a missing index on `email`...
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────
┌─ Gemini 3 ───────────────────────────────────────
│ The query could benefit from denormalization for

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────
┌─ Grok 4.1 ───────────────────────────────────────
│ Just add an index. The real problem is you're

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────
✅ Consensus: Add index on users.email, fix N+1 query
💡 Recommendation: Use eager loading with proper indexing
