Automated accessibility scanning across the five engines - axe-core (primary), pa11y, Lighthouse a11y, WAVE, and IBM Equal Access. Authors and runs axe-core scans via the `axe.run()` JavaScript API or the @axe-core/playwright / @axe-core/cli wrappers, parses `violations[]` into per-rule severity, configures rule disable / disable-by-tag patterns, and emits CI-gateable output; references/ carry the pa11y CLI (htmlcs + axe runners), Lighthouse CI `categories:accessibility` assertions, the WAVE…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# axe-a11y ## Overview axe-core is "an accessibility testing engine for websites and other HTML-based user interfaces" maintained by Deque ([axe-core][readme]). It identifies approximately **57% of WCAG issues automatically** and flags items requiring human review as "incomplete" ([axe-core][readme]). [readme]: https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core The integration shape: load the engine into a page (via test fixture, browser extension, or framework adapter), call `axe.run()`, and parse the `violations[]` array. ## When to use - The project ships JavaScript / TypeScript UI tests (Playwright / Cypress / Jest / Vitest). - Automated a11y coverage on every PR is a goal. - The team values **WCAG SC tagging** - axe rules map cleanly to WCAG 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 SCs. - Pair with `a11y-violation-gate` for the ratchet pattern over baseline. If axe-core's direct integration doesn't fit, route to the other scanners below. ## Other scanners axe-core is the primary engine; four alternatives live in references/, each with verified install / CLI / API / CI patterns: | Scanner | Reach for it when | Reference | |---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add testland/qa/axe-a11y@sha256:86aa95deaea73af2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.84b37f4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
