Overview

AI-generated overview

Official Deque server that lets an AI coding agent scan web pages for accessibility issues with axe and get code-level fix guidance.

What you can do
  • Scan web pages for accessibility issues using axe
  • Get AI-powered, code-level guidance to fix the issues found, which coding agents can use to remediate source code
When to use it
Useful when you work on web front-end code in an AI coding agent and want accessibility problems found and fixed inside the IDE workflow, and you already hold an Axe DevTools for Web subscription.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio as a Docker image (docker.io/dequesystems/axe-mcp-server), so Docker is required. Needs a paid Axe DevTools for Web subscription and an axe MCP Server API key, plus an MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, VS Code or Cursor.
Before you install
Paid product: a subscription to Axe DevTools for Web is required, and an API key must be supplied. The remediate tool can guide coding agents to change source code automatically, so review edits before accepting them. Page content scanned is sent to the axe service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open axe MCP Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
