saas-audit

Tell a Next.js codebase's claims from its behaviour. One command reports the gaps between what a repository declares and what it actually runs — a Prisma model nothing queries, an environment variable nothing reads, a locale that drifted out of sync.

Zero dependencies. It reads files. It never runs your code, opens your database, or sends anything anywhere.

npx saas-audit

  Codebase audit
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────

  Size   (code = non-blank, non-comment lines)
  src/app          40 files    2375 code
  src/components   27 files    1890 code
  src/lib          10 files     858 code
  ────────────────────────────────────────────
  total           101 files    6248 code

  Data model   (uses = Prisma client calls in src/)
  User            16 fields    25 uses
  Organization     8 fields     2 uses
  ApiKey          10 fields     6 uses

  Locales   (8 declared · 374 keys in en)
  en  complete    fr  complete    de  complete    …

  No findings. Every model is queried, every env var is wired,
  every locale is complete.

Why

Three defects are invisible to TypeScript, invisible to your test runner, and invisible in review — and each one ships regularly:

saas-audit looks for exactly those. When it prints nothing, that is a result.

It came out of a commercial Next.js starter whose landing page makes claims about its own code. Running this in CI is how those claims stay true — and the first run reported six findings against the very repository that shipped it.

What it reports

• Size — files, total lines, and lines that are neither blank nor a comment, per directory. Two numbers, because "lines of code" means whatever the author wants it to.

• Routes — derived from src/app/, never a hand-kept list, with whether middleware.ts matches each one. A blank is not a guarantee: a route can guard itself.

• Data model — every Prisma model with how many times src/ calls its generated accessor.

• Environment — .env.example cross-checked against every process.env.X in src/ and every env("X") in the schema, in both directions. Variables read by an SDK rather than by your code are listed apart instead of called dead.

• Locales — for a next-intl project: per language, keys missing against the default, extra keys, empty values, and ICU placeholder drift — {count} in one file and {n} in another, which typechecks and throws for that language's visitors.

Use

npx saas-audit                  # report on the current directory
npx saas-audit ../other-app     # somewhere else
npx saas-audit --json           # for a script
npx saas-audit --strict         # exit 1 on any finding

In CI:

- run: npx saas-audit --strict

For coding agents (MCP)

The same analysis, over the Model Context Protocol. An agent asking route_map gets every route and its protection in one call, instead of reading twenty files and guessing.

claude mcp add saas-audit -- npx -y saas-audit-mcp

Any MCP client works — stdio transport, JSON-RPC 2.0:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "saas-audit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "saas-audit-mcp"] }
  }
}

Eight read-only tools: audit, route_map, data_model, plans, locales, env_check, size, conventions. Nothing writes a file, runs a migration or touches a database, so an agent can explore without asking permission.

What it expects

A Next.js App Router project. Everything else is optional and skipped when absent:

• prisma/schema.prisma → the data model section

• .env.example → the environment section

• src/middleware.ts with createRouteMatcher([...]) → route protection

• src/i18n/routing.ts + src/messages/*.json (next-intl) → the locale section

Pages Router is not supported. Drizzle is not read yet — open an issue if you want it.

What it is not

Not a linter, not a formatter, not a type checker, not a security scanner. Those exist and are good. This answers one narrower question: does this repository do what it says it does?
