# Create New Project
Source: https://docs.usestash.com/create-new-project
Organize your data sources and teams around projects
Stash follows a project‑based architecture designed to keep your data organized and scoped. You can create multiple projects under your company’s account, with each project linking to its own set of data sources - repositories, issue trackers, and wikis.
This structure makes it easy to keep information relevant and focused, as well as manage access: team members can be granted project‑specific permissions so they only see the data that matters to their work.
Projects bring together all your technical data sources in a single place, making everything easier to access, understand, and use effectively.
## How to create a new project?
From the Stash home screen, click **Create new project** in the **Quick Actions** panel. This will launch the **Project Creation Wizard**, which will guide you through the setup step by step.
Enter the **name**, **description**, and **primary language** of the project.
Add the repositories you want to link to this project. Enter the repository details and click **Validate**. Once validated, select the branch you want Stash to analyze.
Next, add any issue trackers you want linked to this project, such as Jira, GitHub Issues, or GitLab Issues. Select the tracker type, enter the required details, and click **Validate**.
If your project uses a wiki or documentation space, such as Confluence, you can connect it at this step. Enter the required details, click **Validate**.
If your issue trackers already work with Stash’s default settings, you can skip this step. Otherwise, use the configuration options to adjust how issues and labels are handled.
The summary screen shows all the repositories, issue trackers, and wikis you’ve connected. Review the information and click the confirmation button to create the project.
After you finish creating a project, Stash will begin analyzing your connected data sources. Depending on the size of your project, this process may take up to **24 hours** to complete.
Please wait until the analysis is finished before using Stash, as results will not be accurate until the process is done.

## **list\_my\_tasks**
Lists all tasks assigned to the authenticated user.
## get\_issue\_analysis
Returns a detailed analysis for a specific issue, including similar issues, related documents, and relevant code files.
# Installation
Source: https://docs.usestash.com/mcp/installation
Install Stash MCP through the Stash Web Application
**Requirements:**
* Python 3.10 or higher
* An active Stash account on a plan that includes MCP features
* Network access to your Stash instance

# Stash MCP
Source: https://docs.usestash.com/mcp/stash-mcp
Bring Stash’s Issue Resolution Assistance to AI coding agents
The **Stash MCP Server** is currently in **beta** and allows AI coding agents like **Cursor**, **Claude**, and **GitHub Copilot** to access the same Issue Resolution Assistance developers use in the Stash web app.
\
Stash MCP is a set of MCP tools that improve your AI coding experience and process with the powerful context from Stash.
Stash web application already gives you powerful context, deep issue analysis, and much more to keep your development process moving smoothly. However, AI development is evolving quickly, and one of the most exciting new technologies shaping this space is MCP. That’s why we’re bringing the power of MCP directly into Stash so you can tap into the next generation of context-aware development right where you work.
Agentic applications like Cursor, Claude, and GitHub Copilot are great at certain operations, especially smaller and well-defined tasks such as making isolated changes or writing unit tests.
However, these same agents often struggle with more complex tasks, such as:
* Editing code across multiple modules
* Building new components that integrate with a company’s existing systems
* Understanding legacy codebases without context
* Accessing the reasoning and decisions behind previous fixes and features
Critical information about how to solve an issue often lives not only in the codebase but also in tools like Jira and Confluence. Without that context, it’s difficult for coding agents to complete complex work.
**Stash MCP Server solves this problem by connecting agentic apps to Stash’s Issue Resolution Assistance.** It provides AI agents with all the same context Stash surfaces for developers:
* Documentation related to the issue
* Similar past issues and their solutions
* Exact code locations that need attention
This extra context allows agents to complete larger, more interconnected tasks accurately and with less human intervention.
# Usage
Source: https://docs.usestash.com/mcp/usage
Once Stash MCP is installed and configured, you can start using it through your AI client
> **Command:** *“List my issues with Stash MCP”*
When you run this command, the agent connects to the Stash MCP Server and retrieves a list of all issues currently assigned to you.
> **Command:** *“Solve ST-101 by using the context from Stash MCP”*
When you select an issue and give this command, the agent queries the Stash MCP Server for the full context:
* **Documentation** - any wikis or design docs related to the issue
* **Similar past issues** - including how they were fixed
* **Code context** - the exact files, functions, and dependencies likely affected
With this data, the agent can:
1. Identify the root cause of the problem
2. Propose or implement a fix
3. Reference relevant documents or past discussions
4. Push changes or open a pull request (if supported by the agent)
This process dramatically reduces the time required to fix issues by removing guesswork and eliminating the need to manually dig for context.
# Stash GitHub App
Source: https://docs.usestash.com/using-stash/github-app
Supporting open-source projects with our free plan
The GitHub App is included under the **Free Plan** for open-source projects as part of our commitment to supporting open-source builders and helping contributors be more effective.
You must have owner access to the GitHub organization or repository you want to connect.
In most open-source projects, contributors can feel lost among thousands of issues. They often ask the same questions repeatedly or spend time searching through old discussions and code without finding clear answers. This slows down contributions and creates extra work for maintainers.
The **Stash GitHub App** solves this problem by connecting your GitHub repositories directly to Stash. It enables Stash to analyze your project, keep it up to date as new commits and issues are created, and proactively deliver context when contributors need it.
## Connect your project to Stash
Follow the [**Create Project**](/create-new-project) steps in Stash.
You must skip the wiki connection; it’s not required for open-source projects.
Once the analysis is ready, you’ll see the **Install** **GitHub App** button appear on your project dashboard.
You’ll be asked to choose which repositories the GitHub App should access. Select the **same repository** you added in the project creation wizard.
After installing the GitHub App, contributors and maintainers can comment `/analyze` under any GitHub issue.
Stash will automatically reply with similar past issues and exact code files and lines related to the issue.
