mcp-a11y-tools

Provides AI agents with web accessibility analysis tools via MCP, enabling checks for alt text, heading hierarchy, color contrast, ARIA validation, and form accessibility.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

check_alt_text

Analyze images in HTML for missing, empty, or low-quality alt text. Reports which images need alt text, which use decorative (empty) alt, and which are properly labeled. Also checks linked images and input[type=image].

check_heading_hierarchy

Validate heading structure in HTML: checks for proper h1-h6 nesting order, no skipped levels, single h1, empty headings, and heading content quality. Returns a visual tree of the heading structure.

check_color_contrast

Check WCAG 2.x contrast ratio between a foreground and background color pair. Reports AA and AAA compliance for both normal and large text. Accepts hex (#fff, #ffffff), rgb(r,g,b), or named colors.

validate_aria

Validate ARIA attributes in HTML: checks for invalid roles, missing required ARIA properties, redundant ARIA on native elements, aria-label on non-interactive elements, and aria-hidden on focusable elements.

check_form_accessibility

Check form elements for accessibility: verifies labels are associated with inputs, radio/checkbox groups use fieldset/legend, placeholder is not used as sole label, autocomplete hints on personal info fields, and detects duplicate IDs.

// known CVEs in dependencies3 high

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

5/5 tools missing one or more hints — check_alt_text (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_heading_hierarchy (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); check_color_contrast (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +2 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool inputs are validated

4/5 tool handlers declare input schemas (80%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 0/5 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.1 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
