Quickstart, in a few minutes.
Create your account, set up a workspace and a project, write your first document, then connect the AI tool you already use. Each step takes a minute or two.
1. Create your account
Go to app.stablebaseline.io and sign up with Google, or with your email and a password. With a password you also set up an authenticator app, so every sign-in needs a code as well.
The boxes sit just above the sign-up button. Before you start, tick the box to agree to the Terms of Service. The box under it, for news and tips by email, starts ticked: untick it if you would rather not have them. You can turn them off later in your notification settings too.
2. Set up your organisation
The first time you sign in, a short welcome names your organisation and creates your first workspace and project. A workspace is usually a team or a department; a project is a product, a service or a piece of work. See How it fits together.
3. Write something
In your project, press New Document. Start typing, import a Word or PDF file, or choose Generate with AI and describe the document you need. Add a diagram from the Insert menu. See Documents.
4. Ask the assistant
Press Ask about in the top bar, or Ctrl J, and ask Orbit about the page you are on: “summarise this”, “draw the flow as a diagram”, “what is overdue in this project?”
Orbit and the other AI features come with the paid plans, where asking Orbit is free and the work it does for you uses credits. On the Free plan they work once your organisation connects its own AI. See Orbit.
5. Invite your team
Under Organisation settings, Members, invite people by email as members or admins, then add them to the workspaces they need. See People and teams.
6. Connect your AI tool
Stable Baseline works with the AI tools you already use, over MCP. Most tools can sign in for you: add the address, and your browser opens to sign in and choose what the tool may do. For example, in Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http sb https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp
Then type /mcp in Claude Code and choose to authenticate. Every other tool has its own recipe, and a tool that cannot sign in can use an API key instead.
7. Document a repository
In a code repository, run the sb-setup prompt from your AI tool, or ask for it in plain words:
Run sb-setup for this repository and document it in my Stable Baseline project.
It checks the connection, finds your workspace and project (it never creates them), reads the repository, designs a structure of folders, documents and diagrams, writes them, and adds a Stable Baseline section to the repository's AGENTS.md so your tools keep the docs current as the code changes.
