• scan_page

  Scan a web page for WCAG accessibility issues. Works on any URL — deployed sites, localhost, staging. Returns `issues` (violations the scanner stands behind; uncertain findings are judged or dropped, never listed for review) and a `summary`. On React ≤18 / Vue dev builds each issue carries `source` ({file, line, column, component}) read from the live component tree. Every issue carries a structured `fix.op` (add-attribute | set-attribute | remove-attribute | add-element | remove-element | add-text-content | suggest) with `fix.attribute` / `fix.value` when known, and a `fixability` tier (mechanical = apply as given; contextual = op known, value needs judgment; visual = needs rendered output, propose only). NOTE: on this HOSTED server, localhost and private addresses are refused — it runs in our cloud and cannot reach your machine. Two ways to scan a local dev server: run the MCP locally (`npx -y @webability/mcp`, simplest — nothing leaves the machine), or open a tunnel (`webability-tunn

• verify_fix

  Re-scan a specific element after applying an accessibility fix and confirm the violation is gone — closes the loop that find-only tools leave open. After you edit the code and serve it (deployed, staging, or http://localhost:3000), call this with the URL and the selector you fixed to get a machine-checked verified: true|false (DOM engines only — visual_audit findings are out of scope). Pass the WCAG criterion (e.g. "1.1.1") or axe rule id (e.g. "color-contrast") to check just that criterion; omit it to require the element be clean of ALL violations. A blocked page (bot-challenge / HTTP error) is reported as unverified, never a pass — verification fails closed. If the selector matches no element, the result is verified: false with reason "not-found" — pass the element's current selector, or re-run scan_page if your fix removed the element. Pair with scan_page → generate_ai_fix → verify_fix for a full find-fix-verify cycle. NOTE: on this HOSTED server, localhost and private addresses are

• diff_scan

  Compare two scans of the same page and report what changed: `fixed[]` (in the baseline, gone now), `new[]` (regressions — not in the baseline, present now), `remaining[]` (still there). Page-level complement to verify_fix (one element). Baseline is a scan_history id (`baselineId`, local installs) or a live scan of `baselineUrl`; current is `url` (scanned live now) or another history id (`currentId`). Findings are matched by issue id (rule + element), so a changed class/id on a fixed element reads as fixed AND new — check `new[]` before calling it a regression. Typical loop: scan_page → edit → diff_scan(baselineId=<that scan id>, url=<same url>) → confirm new[] is empty.

• start_audit

  Kick off a FULL accessibility audit deliverable for a URL — a persistent, timestamped artifact, not an inline scan. Runs the server-side pipeline (axe + advanced checks + mobile viewports + annotated screenshots + optional agent spot-check) and produces a downloadable report and a formatted Excel workbook (Cover / Status / Barriers / ADA context sheets) stored durably. Returns immediately with an audit `id`; poll `get_audit` for progress and, when complete, download URLs. Use this when someone needs a durable artifact to attach as evidence of testing effort for a compliance officer or legal response — for iterating on code, use scan_page + verify_fix instead. Free for everyone; needs a free WebAbility account (sign in by connecting https://mcp.webability.io/mcp/auth, or run `webability login`). Set includeAgent:true to add the slower agentic manual-audit pass. To audit a local dev server, open a tunnel (`webability-tunnel --port 3000`) and pass its URL as `url` with the printed secret

• add_site

  Add a website to the signed-in WebAbility account. The site gets the full widget for its first 30 days and a first scan. Returns the site id and plan tier. Next: put the get_install_snippet tag on the site, and use create_upgrade_link to get a payment link for the WebAbility Pro plan. Needs a free WebAbility account (an AI agent can sign itself up with "Sign in with AgentID").

• list_sites

  List the sites on the signed-in WebAbility account with each site id, plan tier and the date the current plan ends. Use it to check that a payment activated WebAbility Pro on a site. Needs a free WebAbility account.

• get_install_snippet

  Get the one-line script tag that installs the WebAbility accessibility widget. Put it in the <head> or before </body> of every page of a site added with add_site. The widget finds the site by its domain, so the same tag works on every site. No account needed.

• create_upgrade_link

  Get a Stripe Checkout link that puts one site on the WebAbility Pro plan (the widget subscription). Give the link to the human who pays (your owner). When they pay, the plan activates on that site automatically; check with list_sites. You never handle card details. The site must be on the account (add_site first). Needs a free WebAbility account.

• get_audit

  Check an audit started with start_audit: returns overall status, per-step progress (scan → viewports → screenshots → agent → excel → publish), and — once complete — a severity summary plus short-lived download URLs for the report (JSON) and the Excel workbook. Poll every ~15s while status is pending/running. Only the account that started an audit can read it. Free with a WebAbility account.

• flow_scan

  Scan a multi-page user journey. Walks startUrl plus the required `autoNavigate` URLs sequentially (deterministic — one page fully rendered and scanned before the next), then returns ONE consolidated report with issues deduplicated across pages, each carrying the same fix payload as scan_page. Every requested URL gets an explicit outcome in `pages[]` (scanned / nav_failed / scan_failed / redirected_duplicate / duplicate_request / skipped_cap / blocked — bot-challenge, not a clean page) — a page is never silently dropped. Better than per-page scans for journeys (login → checkout etc). For a single page, use scan_page.

• detect_framework

  Detect a page's stack as two separate fields: `framework` — the application framework, CMS or site builder (e.g. nextjs, nuxt, sveltekit, vitepress, astro, gatsby, wordpress, shopify, mediawiki, vue, react; "unknown" when no signal) — and `cssToolkit` (tailwind, bootstrap, mui, plain-css). Lists the evidence it used and the value to pass as generate_ai_fix `framework`. scan_page reports the same two fields from the same detection.

Two ways to scan a local dev server: run the MCP locally (`npx -y @webability/mcp`, simplest — nothing leaves the machine), or open a tunnel (`webability-tunnel --port 3000`) and pass its URL as `url` together with the printed secret as `tunnel_secret`.

• generate_ai_fix

  Generate framework-aware fix alternatives for a specific accessibility issue. For color contrast issues, returns 3 alternatives (minimal, brand-aligned, high contrast); brand palette is auto-extracted from the live URL using our scanner if `brandColors` is omitted. For label/ARIA issues, returns 1-2 alternatives. Each alternative includes ready-to-paste code for the detected framework.

• visual_audit

  Pixel-level accessibility audit using Claude vision. Catches issues that DOM scanners miss: icon contrast (1.4.11), focus visibility (2.4.7), "looks like a button but isn't" (4.1.2), text rendered as images (1.4.5), visual hierarchy mismatches. Takes a URL, opens it in a headless browser, screenshots, and runs vision-based detection. Complements scan_page — run both for full coverage. Free for everyone; sign in with a free WebAbility account for vision and full audits (sign in by connecting https://mcp.webability.io/mcp/auth, or run `webability login`). Fair-use rate limits apply.

• scan_html

  Scan a raw HTML snippet or component markup without serving it — IN-PROCESS by default (jsdom + WebAbility detectors + axe-core): milliseconds, no browser, no network, so it fits inside a tight edit loop. Fragments are auto-wrapped into a document. Returns scan_page's shape (issues / summary) with `fix.op` + `fixability` on every finding. jsdom has no layout, so visual-tier rules (contrast, target size, focus ring) are NOT evaluated — the dropped count is reported as `skippedVisual`; pass `engine: "browser"` to run the axe-core headless-browser path for those (slower, axe rules only, returns axe `violations`).

• get_rules

  List accessibility rules from both engines — axe-core (104) and the WebAbility detectors (90+) — with optional filters. Every rule carries `fixability` (mechanical | contextual | visual) and a `fix` op template, so you can pick the rules worth auto-fixing before scanning. Returns ruleId, engine, description, help, helpUrl, tags/wcag, fixability, fix.

• check_color_contrast

  Check text contrast against the WCAG AA threshold (4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text); the AAA verdict is shown only when you pass level: "AAA". Either pass a `foreground` / `background` color pair, or pass `url` + `selector` to read the element's own text color, background (composited from the nearest painted ancestors), font size and weight from the live page; explicit colors win over the page. A gradient or image background is reported as an error, never a guessed ratio. When it fails, suggests BRAND-aligned replacements — extracts the actual brand palette from the `url` page using our scanner (CSS vars + most-used colors), or use a provided `brandColors` array. No `url` and no `brandColors` = ratio + pass/fail only. NOTE: on this HOSTED server, localhost and private addresses are refused — it runs in our cloud and cannot reach your machine. Two ways to scan a local dev server: run the MCP locally (`npx -y @webability/mcp`, simplest — nothing leaves the machine), or open a tunnel (`webab

• check_aria

  Validate ARIA attribute + accessible name/role/value usage — in an HTML snippet (`html`) or on a live page (`url`), optionally limited to one element and its descendants (`selector`). Runs axe-core `cat.aria` and `cat.name-role-value` rules (aria-* attribute correctness, role validity, required parents/children, aria-hidden-focus, accessible names). Returns `violations`. A selector that matches nothing, or a page that answers an HTTP error, is an error — never "no violations". Nodes cap at 5 per rule by default — every rule reports nodesTotal + truncated; raise nodeLimit (max 50).

Two ways to scan a local dev server: run the MCP locally (`npx -y @webability/mcp`, simplest — nothing leaves the machine), or open a tunnel (`webability-tunnel --port 3000`) and pass its URL as `url` together with the printed secret as `tunnel_secret`.
