MkSaaS is a Next.js boilerplate for building AI-powered SaaS products, bundling authentication, payments, AI features, dashboard, blog, and documentation into a single codebase.
What is MkSaaS?
MkSaaS is a complete Next.js boilerplate that provides the foundational infrastructure for AI SaaS applications. It takes your product idea (configured via environment variables and content files) and outputs a production-ready web app with user authentication, subscription billing, AI tool demos, a marketing site, blog, docs, and an admin dashboard. The boilerplate runs on Next.js and is designed for deployment on Vercel, Docker, or Cloudflare Workers. It is maintained by the MkSaaS team (mksaas.com).
Key Features
- Authentication — Email/password registration and login, social login (via BetterAuth), password reset, user profile management, and optional email verification.
- Payments — Stripe and Creem integrations for subscriptions and one-time payments, with webhook handling, billing management, and a credits system.
- AI Features — Built-in AI text generator, AI image generator, and AI chat bot demos powered by the Vercel AI SDK, structured for agent-friendly code.
- Pages — Ready-to-use landing page, pricing page, about page, contact page, and legal pages, all customizable.
- Blog & Docs — MDX-based blog with categories and authors, plus a documentation system built with Fumadocs.
- Email & Newsletter — Integration with Resend and Beehiiv for transactional emails and newsletter campaigns, including email templates and a waitlist system.

Who is it for?
- Indie developers who want to launch an AI SaaS product in a weekend using a proven tech stack.
- SaaS founders who need a production-grade foundation with payments, auth, and admin dashboards without building from scratch.
- AI product builders who want to quickly prototype and deploy AI features like text generation, image generation, or chat bots.
- Content creators looking to build a blog or directory site with monetization (payments, newsletter) and SEO optimization.
