How Polydev Works

Polydev registers as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in your IDE. When you ask for perspectives, your code context is sent to multiple frontier models simultaneously. Each model responds independently, giving you diverse approaches to the same problem.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polydev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "--package=polydev-ai@latest", "--", "polydev-stdio"],
      "env": {
        "POLYDEV_USER_TOKEN": "pd_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Turn your $20/month CLI subscription into a REST API. Polydev maintains an authenticated session with your CLI tool and exposes it as a standard HTTP endpoint. Same subscription, programmatic access.

# Query your Claude Pro subscription via REST API
curl https://api.polydev.ai/v1/chat \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pd_your_token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-opus-4-6",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Review this PR for security issues"}
    ]
  }'

# Response routes through your authenticated CLI session
# No API key needed — uses your $20/mo subscription

Every Polydev query generates pairwise comparisons between model responses. These comparisons feed into an Elo rating system that ranks models across 6 dimensions — using real developer code, not synthetic benchmarks.
