How to Run a WCAG 2.2 Audit on Any Website From Your IDE

WCAG 2.2, the latest version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, became a W3C Recommendation in October 2023, introducing nine new success criteria and removing one outdated criterion. This version serves as a critical standard for digital accessibility, influencing regulatory frameworks like the ADA and the EU's European Accessibility Act. To audit web pages for WCAG 2.2 compliance, especially when access to the backend or source code is unavailable, TestMu AI's Accessibility MCP Server offers a practical solution with its getAccessibilityReport tool. This tool allows users to evaluate any reachable URL directly from their code editor, providing an audit report that identifies violations of accessibility standards. The process is crucial for agencies, teams, and individuals needing to assess third-party content, competitive benchmarks, or staging sites before public release. The tool highlights areas that require manual inspection, as some criteria necessitate judgment beyond automated checks, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of a site's accessibility posture.
