Claude Code with Stable Baseline.

1. Add the server

In your repository, run:

claude mcp add --transport http sb https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp

Then type /mcp in Claude Code, choose sb, and authenticate. Your browser opens to sign in to Stable Baseline and choose what Claude Code may reach. From a shell, claude mcp login sb does the same.

Who it is for

Add --scope project or --scope user to the command to choose.

Or use an API key

For a script or a machine with no browser, use an API key. Create one under Organisation settings, Developers, API keys. See Setup. To share the server with your team in .mcp.json, refer to the key through an environment variable, so each person uses their own:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sb": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${STABLE_BASELINE_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Document the repository

Claude Code lists Stable Baseline's prompts as commands, such as /sb:sb-setup (MCP). Type /sb:sb-setup (or /mcp__sb__sb-setup) and say what you want, for example “architecture docs for new engineers”. It then:

1. 1

   Checks the connection

   It confirms it can reach Stable Baseline with your key or sign-in.
2. 2

   Finds your workspace and project

   It never creates them: if it cannot find the ones you mean, it asks you to create them in the app first.
3. 3

   Remembers them

   It writes their ids to .sb/config.json, and keeps .sb/ out of git.
4. 4

   Checks for existing docs

   If the project already has documentation, it asks whether to add to it, replace it, or stop.
5. 5

   Reads the repository

   It works through the code to understand what is there.
6. 6

   Designs a structure

   Folders and documents that fit this repository, not a fixed template.
7. 7

   Writes it

   Folders, documents, and the diagrams each document needs.
8. 8

   Updates AGENTS.md

   It adds a Stable Baseline section with rules for keeping the docs current, and keeps everything else in the file.
9. 9

   Sums up

   It tells you what it created.

Other commands

Every Stable Baseline prompt appears the same way: /sb:sb-update records what you decided in this conversation, /sb:sb-create-doc starts a document, /sb:sb-whiteboard-design builds a board, and so on. See the full list.
