axe MCP Server

dequelabs/axe-mcp-server-public

Brings Deque's Axe DevTools accessibility scanning into your AI coding workflow. Exposes two tools: analyze runs axe accessibility checks on any web page, and remediate provides AI-powered, code-level fix guidance that agents can use to automatically patch issues in your source. Requires a paid Axe DevTools for Web subscription and an API key from your Deque account. Ships as a Docker container and connects via stdio. Useful when you're building web UIs and want your AI assistant to catch and fix WCAG violations without leaving your editor.
