Built a mvp / prototype with Claude Code?
We'll make it production-ready.
You built a prototype with an AI tool and it works — on your machine, with your test data, for the happy path. Now you need real users to validate your idea. The goal isn't perfection — it's getting to a state where real people can use it safely and reliably. That means fixing the critical gaps without over-engineering.
MVP / Prototype challenges in Claude Code apps
Building a mvp / prototype with Claude Code is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Identifying what actually needs fixing
Not everything needs to be production-grade for an MVP. The challenge is knowing which shortcuts are acceptable (visual polish, advanced features) and which aren't (security, data loss, broken core flows). Our audit prioritizes fixes by impact.
Security minimum
Even an MVP handles user data. You need authentication that works, data isolated per user, no exposed secrets, and HTTPS. You don't need enterprise-grade security, but you need the basics done right.
Deployment
Your app runs locally but deploying it involves environment variables, domain configuration, SSL, and build optimization. First-time deployment is where most AI prototypes hit unexpected issues.
Error handling
When something goes wrong (and it will), your users should see a helpful message — not a white screen or a raw error. Basic error handling is the difference between 'this app is buggy' and 'something went wrong, please try again.'
Core flow reliability
Your main user flow (signup → core action → outcome) must work every time. Edge cases in secondary flows can wait, but the core path needs to be solid for your MVP to generate valid learnings.
What we check in your Claude Code mvp / prototype
Common Claude Code issues we fix
Beyond mvp / prototype-specific issues, these are Claude Code patterns we commonly fix.
Over-permissive CORS configuration
Claude Code sometimes sets CORS to allow all origins during development and forgets to restrict it for production, allowing any website to make API requests.
Missing rate limiting
API endpoints are generated without rate limiting, allowing attackers to brute-force auth endpoints or abuse expensive operations.
Over-engineered abstractions
Claude Code creates multiple layers of abstraction, generic utilities, and design patterns for simple problems — making the code harder to understand and maintain.
Edge cases in complex logic
While Claude handles the main flow well, complex conditional logic sometimes has edge cases that produce incorrect results with unusual inputs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a mvp / prototype with Claude Code?
Claude Code is a great starting point for a mvp / prototype. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but mvp / prototype apps have specific requirements — identifying what actually needs fixing and security minimum — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Claude Code leave in mvp / prototype apps?
Common issues include: over-permissive cors configuration, missing rate limiting, over-engineered abstractions. For a mvp / prototype specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for identifying what actually needs fixing.
How do I make my Claude Code mvp / prototype production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Claude Code-built mvp / prototype apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Claude Code-built mvp / prototype?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger mvp / prototype projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
