MyA11yReport MCP Brings Local Accessibility Audits to AI Agents

Summary

MyA11yReport MCP is a local Model Context Protocol server that gives an AI agent tools for auditing websites. It drives a real Chromium browser through Playwright, runs axe-core scans, and reviews landmarks, headings, lists, frames, tab order, images, alt text, and color contrast. The agent can navigate, click, type, scroll, take screenshots, inspect the accessibility tree, and execute page JavaScript, allowing it to reach content inside accordions, modals, and menus. Sessions use an explicit start_session and close_session flow, with a session ID passed to later calls and every action recorded in a history file. The server runs on the user’s machine without an account or API key, and the article says data does not leave the host. Installation requires Node.js 20 or newer plus a one-time Chromium download of about 150 MB. It can be connected to OpenCode, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client supporting local stdio servers. Its audit guide also identifies checks that automation cannot settle, including keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatibility, and whether images convey the intended meaning, so a human must verify them.
