⁠What is the axe MCP Server

Built on the trusted axe platform and delivered through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the axe MCP Server brings enterprise-grade accessibility testing directly into AI tools like VS Code with Copilot, enabling developers to shift accessibility testing left in their software development lifecycle without disrupting their existing workflows.

Fix more issues, faster with the most accurate accessibility scanning and expert remediation guidance available—powered by thousands of real accessibility audits and delivered with precise code suggestions right in your IDE. Stay focused, stay in flow by eliminating the constant context switching between browsers, extensions, and bug trackers; everything happens where you're already coding, integrated with your AI coding agent of choice. Empower every developer on your team to catch and resolve accessibility issues during development, not after—no accessibility expertise required.
