A11Y Toolkit Overview

A11Y Toolkit MCP server gives coding agents tools for WCAG 2.2 audits, remediation, evidence collection, accessibility documents, and regression monitoring. Its 37 tools cover static pages, rendered browser behavior, PDFs, DOCX files, contrast, keyboard interaction, forms, screen-reader output, and more. Core operations run without dependencies, while rendered checks use Playwright and a browser such as Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, Chrome, or Edge. Reach for it when an agent needs repeatable accessibility checks and human-reviewable evidence rather than a one-time scan.

Primary Use Cases for A11Y Toolkit:
  • Audit a web page against WCAG 2.2
  • Test keyboard, form, reflow, and screen-reader behavior
  • Generate accessibility statements and VPAT reports
  • Compare accessibility snapshots between releases
