Built a internal tool with Magic.dev?
We'll make it production-ready.
Internal tools don't face the public internet, but they often have access to sensitive business data — customer records, financial data, operational metrics. AI tools build internal dashboards quickly, but the security bar is still high because a compromised internal tool can expose your entire business.
Internal Tool challenges in Magic.dev apps
Building a internal tool with Magic.dev is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Access control
Who can see what? Internal tools need role-based access — finance sees revenue data, support sees customer data, engineering sees system metrics. AI tools build the dashboard but rarely implement granular permissions.
Data sensitivity
Internal tools often connect directly to production databases. A bug that deletes records or a missing auth check that exposes customer PII can have serious legal and business consequences.
Network security
Internal tools should be behind a VPN or protected network, not on the public internet. AI tools deploy to public URLs by default. Proper network configuration prevents external access.
Audit logging
When someone modifies data through an internal tool, you need to know who did what and when. This is essential for debugging, compliance, and accountability.
Data mutations
Internal tools often write to production databases — updating orders, modifying user accounts, issuing refunds. These operations need confirmation dialogs, validation, and audit trails to prevent costly mistakes.
What we check in your Magic.dev internal tool
Common Magic.dev issues we fix
Beyond internal tool-specific issues, these are Magic.dev patterns we commonly fix.
Complex implementations that are difficult to maintain
Magic.dev's ability to generate large, multi-file implementations means it can produce sophisticated code that works but is hard for human engineers to understand, debug, or extend.
Security decisions made at scale without explicit review
When Magic.dev generates an entire feature spanning many files, security decisions — API authentication, data access patterns, input validation — are embedded throughout without a clear review surface.
Over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements
Magic.dev tends toward comprehensive, extensible implementations. Simple CRUD operations may receive complex abstraction layers, generic type systems, and plugin architectures that add maintenance burden.
Dependency on Magic.dev's specific AI model for future changes
Complex generated codebases are easiest to modify by re-running Magic.dev with updated prompts. This creates dependence on continued access to their service for ongoing development.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a internal tool with Magic.dev?
Magic.dev is a great starting point for a internal tool. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but internal tools have specific requirements — access control and data sensitivity — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Magic.dev leave in internal tools?
Common issues include: complex implementations that are difficult to maintain, security decisions made at scale without explicit review, over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements. For a internal tool specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for access control.
How do I make my Magic.dev internal tool production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Magic.dev-built internal tools, 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 Magic.dev-built internal tool?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger internal tool projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
