Accessibility (a11y)

The Accessibility (a11y) skill equips AI agents with practical, standards-based knowledge for auditing and remediating web accessibility issues. It covers WCAG 2.1 compliance at the A, AA, and AAA levels, correct use of ARIA roles and attributes, semantic HTML structure, focus management, keyboard navigation patterns, and screen reader support across common assistive technologies. Rather than generic advice, the skill grounds agent responses in the actual success criteria and techniques that accessibility audits and legal compliance reviews rely on, so recommendations are actionable for developers and designers alike.

Teams use this skill when building or auditing a website, web app, or component library that needs to meet WCAG 2.1 compliance requirements, pass a keyboard-only navigation test, or satisfy a screen reader compatibility review before launch. It's equally useful for ongoing work: reviewing pull requests for missing alt text or improper ARIA attributes, writing accessible form validation and error messaging, checking color contrast and focus indicators, or drafting an accessibility statement for legal and procurement purposes. Because the skill understands both the letter of WCAG guidelines and the practical intent behind them, agents can explain not just what to fix but why it matters for real users of assistive technology.

On BusinessMCP, this accessibility skill becomes part of your unified, hosted MCP server rather than a one-off tool you have to wire into each project separately. Connect it once through your BusinessMCP workspace and it's instantly available to any AI agent — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or your own model — via a single /api/mcp endpoint authenticated with your mcph_* Bearer key. That means your design system agent, your QA agent, and your customer-support copilot can all pull consistent WCAG 2.1 and ARIA guidance from the same source of truth, without duplicating configuration or juggling separate accessibility plugins per environment.

Because BusinessMCP sits on top of a business-intelligence dashboard, accessibility work stops being invisible. Findings surfaced by agents using this skill — missing labels, keyboard traps, insufficient contrast, unsupported screen reader patterns — can be tracked alongside your other product and revenue metrics, giving stakeholders visibility into remediation progress without a separate reporting tool. The hosted setup is model-agnostic and cookieless by design, which keeps accessibility reviews aligned with the same GDPR-friendly posture you expect from the rest of your BusinessMCP stack.

This skill pairs naturally with other Design-category skills in the catalog. Combine it with UI/UX Pro Max and Impeccable Design when establishing design-system-level accessibility standards, or with the Tailwind CSS Skill when translating WCAG requirements into utility-class implementations that stay consistent across your codebase. For teams still mapping out which capabilities their agents need, the Find Skills utility helps locate complementary skills without leaving the same hosted MCP environment. Whether you're closing out a compliance audit, preparing for a legal review, or simply building more inclusive products by default, this a11y skill gives every AI agent on your team the same grounded, standards-aware accessibility expertise.
