What A11y Check is
A11y Check is a free web accessibility auditing service that samples representative pages and checks them against WCAG 2.2 and KWCAG 2.2. It describes 113 automated rules mapped to 30 of WCAG 2.2’s 55 A/AA success criteria. Reports provide findings, code locations, remediation guides and a checkpoint matrix, with PDF export and CSV export for free accounts. The workflow identifies checks that require human judgment and supplies testing instructions. A free no-login check covers one page, is limited to twice daily and does not save its result. A free account adds site-wide scans, a KWCAG matrix, a manual review workflow and report exports. The @a11ychk/mcp server integrates with Claude Code and Cursor to scan localhost pages and provide remediation guidance. The service cautions that automated results identify only some accessibility issues and cannot establish conformance by themselves. PDF export is print-optimized and does not support tagged PDF (PDF/UA). The privacy policy says sign-in records and server error logs are kept for 90 days; personal and service data are deleted after account deletion, subject to legal retention requirements.
