BrowserStack Accessibility with the MCP server

Use natural language prompts to scan websites and apps for accessibility issues, read shared reports, fix issues, and rescan with the BrowserStack MCP server.

Use the BrowserStack MCP server to scan websites and mobile apps for accessibility issues, read the reports your team shares, fix the issues, and rescan to verify, directly from your AI assistant, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT.

The workflows on this page apply to both web accessibility and app accessibility testing.

To set up the server, see get started with the BrowserStack MCP server.

To use Accessibility tools on the BrowserStack MCP server, you need a BrowserStack Accessibility license. Contact BrowserStack support to enable a license for your account.
