Deque axe
By Deque Systems. Category: Accessibility testing with AI. Homepage
Deque's documentation describes axe as a family of accessibility testing tools built on the open-source axe-core rules engine. The tools cover web pages and native mobile apps. The Axe MCP Server provides analyze and remediate tools to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop, VS Code with Copilot and Cursor. The remediate tool returns AI-generated fix guidance, including a code fix. Guided tests in axe DevTools use AI and consume AI credits. The docs cover a GitHub Action, GitLab and Bitbucket through Axe Developer Hub, and Jenkins for the Axe DevTools Linter.
