StashBase FAQs

Question 1

What file formats can StashBase process?

StashBase supports a wide range of formats, including PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, images (via OCR), and audio/video (via local transcription). It extracts searchable text from these files while keeping your originals intact.

Question 2

Do I need an API key to use StashBase?

Accepted Answer

An embedding API key (e.g., OpenAI, OpenRouter) is required for semantic search capabilities. However, keyword search works out-of-the-box without an API key, and local audio/video transcription also runs entirely on your machine at no API cost.

Question 3

What is StashBase?

Accepted Answer

StashBase is a desktop application that transforms your diverse local files, including documents, images, audio, and video, into a searchable knowledge base, making them accessible and useful for AI agents.

Question 4

How does StashBase integrate with AI agents?

Accepted Answer

StashBase exposes a local MCP (Multi-Client Protocol) server, enabling external AI clients like Claude or Codex to search and interact with your indexed local content. It also features a built-in Agent panel for running local agent CLIs directly against your folders.

Question 5

Is my data stored locally with StashBase?

Accepted Answer

Yes, StashBase operates on a local-first storage model. Your original files remain the source of truth on your machine. StashBase creates a local search index that can be rebuilt from your folders, ensuring your data stays private and under your control.
