Adding Clerk to your Cursor app? Let us review it.
Expert review for Clerk integrations built with Cursor. We fix Cursor-generated Clerk code for security, error handling & production readiness. From $19.
Common Cursor issues affecting integrations
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Clerk issues we find in Cursor apps
Middleware matcher not protecting API routes
AI-generated Clerk middleware uses an incorrect matcher pattern that protects pages but leaves API routes completely unprotected and publicly accessible.
Using deprecated @clerk/nextjs patterns
AI tools generate code using withClerkMiddleware or getAuth() patterns from Clerk v4 that no longer work in Clerk v5 and Next.js 14+.
Organization-scoped permissions not enforced
Generated code checks if a user is signed in but doesn't verify organization membership or role-based permissions on sensitive operations.
