Fix Your AI-Built Clerk Integration
Drop-in authentication and user management for modern apps. AI tools misconfigure middleware, miss route protection, and mishandle organization-scoped auth.
Common Clerk issues we find
Problems specific to AI-generated Clerk integrations.
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.
Webhook user sync missing or incorrectly implemented
AI tools either skip database user sync entirely or implement it without Svix webhook signature verification, leading to stale or forged user records.
Client-side auth state not synced with server
Generated code uses useUser() on the client but doesn't pass the auth token to API routes, causing requests to fail or return data for the wrong user.

Frequently asked questions
Why are my API routes unprotected even with Clerk middleware?
The most common issue is a middleware matcher that only matches page routes (like '/((?!api|_next).*)'). You need to include API routes in the matcher or use the clerkMiddleware() helper that protects all routes by default.
How do I fix Clerk webhook sync issues in my AI-generated code?
AI tools usually skip Svix signature verification, handle only the user.created event, and don't account for user.updated or user.deleted events. A proper implementation needs all three events plus idempotent database operations.
Is my AI-generated Clerk setup compatible with Next.js App Router?
Many AI tools still generate Pages Router patterns for Clerk. App Router requires the clerkMiddleware() API, auth() in Server Components, and useAuth() in Client Components. We audit for correct usage across your entire routing setup.
