SiteLint Auditor MCP
OfficialRun SiteLint audits (WCAG accessibility, SEO, performance, security) on live URLs or raw HTML from an LLM agent, with single-criterion checks and report access.
audit_url— audit a live URL, optionally filtering by standards (wcag,sitelint), audit types (accessibility,performance,security,seo), WCAG levels (A/AA/AAA/best_practices), WCAG versions (2.0/2.1/2.2), specific criteria, and page-load waiting strategy.audit_html— audit raw HTML markup in a sandbox page without fetching a URL (all filter params required; defaults towaitUntil: "load"so image-based rules see loaded assets).check_wcag_criterion— fast pass/fail check of a single WCAG success criterion on a URL at a chosen level (defaultAA).Read resources —
auditor://standardsfor supported WCAG criteria with levels, andauditor://report/{id}for the full JSON report of a previous audit.Choose a transport — stdio by default, or SSE/HTTP on
127.0.0.1:3100; tune via env vars or CLI flags (browser path, concurrency cap, timeout, headless mode, custom bundle).
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type

SiteLint Auditor MCP Server
MCP server that runs SiteLint Auditor - WCAG and SiteLint Best Practices for accessibility, SEO, performance, and security audits via LLM agents.
The auditor bundle additionally supports WebMCP: when enabled it registers in-page tools on document.modelContext, so browser agents can run and inspect audits directly on a live site without this server. See WebMCP (in-page tools).
Quick start
npx @sitelint/auditor-mcpRequires Chromium or Chrome. The MCP server automatically detects an installed system browser. If none is available, Puppeteer normally downloads Chrome during package installation; if that download was skipped, it downloads Chrome for Testing on the first audit. No browser path configuration is required.

Tools
audit_url
Audit a live URL.
{
"url": "https://example.com",
"standards": ["wcag"],
"auditTypes": ["accessibility"],
"wcagLevels": ["A", "AA"],
"wcagVersions": ["2.2"],
"wcagCriteria": []
}audit_html
Audit raw HTML without fetching a URL. Defaults to waitUntil: "load" so image-based rules (e.g. oversized images, size calculations) see fully loaded assets. A timeout guards against hanging external resources — if the load event never fires, the audit aborts with a clear error instead of hanging. Pass waitUntil: "domcontentloaded" to skip slow assets entirely.
All filter parameters are required — pass empty arrays to skip a filter.

How it works
Launches headless Chromium via Puppeteer (single browser, pages capped by
AUDITOR_CONCURRENCY)Loads the target page and waits for it to settle (bounded by
AUDITOR_TIMEOUT)Injects the SiteLint Auditor JS bundle into the page
Runs a single-shot audit against the current DOM state
Formats results into a concise text report with grouping and truncation for long outputs
Stores full JSON as a resource accessible via
auditor://report/{id}
Navigation failures, timeouts, and browser-launch errors are returned as readable messages rather than raw exceptions.
Limitations vs. embedded auditor
When SiteLint Auditor is embedded directly into a website via <script>, it watches for DOM mutations, re-tests dynamically loaded content, and provides an interactive sidebar UI. The MCP server does not do any of that — it takes a one-time snapshot of the page at the moment of injection. Content loaded after the audit starts (lazy images, infinite scroll, SPA route transitions) is not evaluated. For SPAs or pages with heavy dynamic content, consider waiting for full render before calling the tool.
WebMCP (in-page tools)
WebMCP turns the page itself into a tool server: the site exposes client-side functions with JSON schemas, and a browser agent invokes them directly in the open tab. No stdio/SSE transport, no headless browser, no server deployment.
When the auditor is embedded via <script> with the webmcp option enabled, it registers:
Tool | Description |
| Runs a full audit of the live page; returns score and issue totals |
| Issues from the last audit with translated messages and element locators ( |
| All registered rules with id, severity, standard and WCAG level |
| Scrolls to and visually highlights the element for an issue |
Enabling from page code:
auditor.config({ webmcp: true });
auditor.run();The flag is opt-in and defaults to false. Registration is feature-detected: browsers without
document.modelContext silently skip it and the auditor behaves exactly as before.
When to use WebMCP instead of this server
Live page state — audits SPAs, authenticated views, and content rendered after load; the server only snapshots the initial DOM (see Limitations vs. embedded auditor above).
Fix-and-verify loop — the agent changes the page, re-runs
sitelint_run_audit, and usessitelint_highlight_issueto show the user what remains — all inside the user's tab.Assistive and browser-agent workflows — the agent and the user share one context.
Requirements
Chromium 146+ with WebMCP enabled (
chrome://flags/#enable-webmcp-testingin preview builds; Chrome 150+ exposes the producer API ondocument.modelContext)Secure context (HTTPS)
Tools are visible to same-origin consumers only; cross-origin exposure requires the
toolspermissions policy plusexposedToat registration
WebMCP complements this server rather than replacing it: headless audits of arbitrary URLs (CI,
batch checks, sites that do not embed the auditor) stay on @sitelint/auditor-mcp; in-browser
agents driving a live site use the WebMCP tools.
Available Tools
6 toolsaudit_htmlA
Audit raw HTML snippet against WCAG/SEO standards. Creates a sandbox page to analyze the markup.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| html | Yes | ||
| standards | Yes | ||
| waitUntil | No | load | |
| auditTypes | Yes | ||
| wcagLevels | Yes | ||
| wcagCriteria | Yes | ||
| wcagVersions | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It states that a sandbox page is created to analyze the markup, which is useful context, but does not disclose whether the HTML is sent externally, how the sandbox is handled, or any security implications. This is moderate transparency but leaves notable gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is only two sentences, with no wasted words. It front-loads the core action and adds the key behavioral detail in the second sentence. Exemplary conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a complex tool with 7 parameters (6 required) and no output schema. The description does not explain any of the required parameters, the meaning of 'sitelint', the expected input format for html, or the structure of audit results. Given the complexity, the description is insufficient for an agent to invoke the tool correctly without additional exploration.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the 7 parameters, but it only hints at the standards parameter ('WCAG/SEO') and says nothing about auditTypes, wcagLevels, wcagVersions, wcagCriteria, or waitUntil. The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description provides no additional meaning or examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool audits raw HTML snippets against WCAG/SEO standards, using a sandbox page. This distinguishes it from sibling tools: audit_url presumably audits URLs, and check_wcag_criterion checks specific criteria. The verb 'audit' and resource 'raw HTML snippet' are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'raw HTML snippet' provides clear context: use this when you have markup to audit rather than a URL. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, so it falls short of a full 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
audit_urlA
Run a SiteLint audit on a live URL. Checks WCAG accessibility, SEO, performance, and security. Optionally filter by standard, audit type, WCAG level, version, or specific success criteria.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | ||
| standards | No | ||
| waitUntil | No | networkidle2 | |
| auditTypes | No | ||
| wcagLevels | No | ||
| wcagCriteria | No | ||
| wcagVersions | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the audit scope and available filters but does not mention network behavior, waitUntil handling, or result format. There is no annotation contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no filler, with the verb and resource front-loaded. Every clause adds value: scope, categories, and filtering capability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is adequate for tool selection, covering purpose and key filters. But with 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, missing details like waitUntil behavior and return value shape leave notable gaps for an agent invoking it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description helps by mapping filter categories (standard, audit type, WCAG level, version, criteria) to parameters. However, it omits waitUntil semantics and does not fully explain each parameter's formatting beyond schema enums.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the specific action ('Run a SiteLint audit on a live URL') and names the audit categories (accessibility, SEO, performance, security). This clearly distinguishes it from siblings audit_html (HTML input) and check_wcag_criterion (single criterion).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The 'live URL' scoping provides clear context for when to use this tool vs audit_html, and the optional filter list gives usage flexibility. It doesn't explicitly name alternative tools or state when-not to use, but the context is strong enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
capture_page_issuesB
Load a page with Puppeteer, inject the SiteLint auditor with runtime issue collection enabled, wait, and return captured issues inline. No platform account required — works fully offline.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | ||
| waitMs | No | Milliseconds to wait after page load before collecting issues. | |
| collectors | No | Which issue collectors to enable. If omitted, all collectors are enabled. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses the mechanism (Puppeteer load, auditor injection, wait, inline return) and the offline/no-account constraint, but omits permission needs, timeouts/failure behavior, rate limits, and expected issue volume or format.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two tight sentences with the operational pipeline front-loaded and the offline constraint appended. Nothing is wasted, though it is arguably too terse given the missing usage guidance.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema and no annotations, the description should carry more weight. 'Return captured issues inline' is vague about the return shape, and nothing is said about failure modes, duration implications of waitMs, or how collectors affect output.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 67%: waitMs and collectors are documented in-schema, while url has only a format constraint. The description adds no further semantics for any parameter, so it neither compensates for nor exceeds the schema baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific pipeline: load a page with Puppeteer, inject the SiteLint auditor, wait, and return issues. This is concrete enough for an agent to know the tool produces issue captures. However, it never distinguishes itself from close siblings like audit_url or audit_html, leaving the agent to infer which captures runtime issues versus static ones.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit when-to-use guidance or routing to alternatives such as audit_url or check_wcag_criterion. The only contextual hint is 'No platform account required — works fully offline,' which describes a constraint rather than a selection condition.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
check_wcag_criterionA
Check a single WCAG success criterion against a page. Filters audit to one criterion, level, and WCAG standard — faster than full audit. Returns pass/fail per element.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | ||
| level | No | AA | |
| criterion | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It conveys that the tool filters an audit, returns pass/fail per element, and is faster than a full audit. However, it does not explicitly state read-only behavior, error handling, or prerequisites, which are useful for a tool with no annotation safety net.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and includes a valuable output hint ('Returns pass/fail per element'). Every phrase contributes without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema and no annotations, the description provides a basic return format and scope but lacks details on edge cases (e.g., invalid URLs, missing criteria, accessibility limitations). It is adequate for a simple check tool but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It mentions 'criterion, level, and WCAG standard,' but 'WCAG standard' does not correspond to any schema property (only url, level, criterion). The description does not clearly map parameters to schema fields, leaving ambiguity for an agent.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Check a single WCAG success criterion against a page') and differentiates from siblings by noting it 'filters audit to one criterion, level, and WCAG standard — faster than full audit.' This makes the tool's specific role unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use this tool — for targeted, faster checks — and contrasts it with a full audit. It does not explicitly name sibling tools or state exclusions, but the context and wording ('faster than full audit') provide clear usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_issueB
Get full detail for a single issue group: stack trace, user events log (steps to reproduce), network context, and console tail.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| groupId | Yes | ||
| siteApiToken | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses the returned content, but it does not state that this is a read-only operation, nor does it explain the auth requirement beyond the siteApiToken parameter name, leaving the safety/mutation profile unstated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with the verb first and the return payload enumerated. Every clause earns its place with no filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
There is no output schema, so describing the returned fields is valuable and partially complete. However, with no annotations and 0% parameter coverage, gaps remain around auth/scoping and parameter meaning.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for both parameters, so the description would need to compensate. It says nothing about what groupId identifies or what siteApiToken is for, leaving both parameters entirely undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a clear verb+resource ('Get full detail for a single issue group') and enumerates what detail is returned (stack trace, user events log, network context, console tail). It implicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling list_issues by emphasizing 'single issue group,' though it never names that sibling explicitly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied: an agent calling with a groupId wants the full detail of one issue rather than a list. But there is no explicit when-to-use, no stated prerequisite (e.g., needing a groupId from list_issues first), and no exclusion against alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_issuesA
List recent runtime issues captured by the SiteLint auditor for a site. Returns trimmed fields (issueId, ts, type, severity, pageUrl, message, fingerprint, count). This is the "go find what I just hit" call.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum number of issues to return. | |
| types | No | Filter by issue type. | |
| minutes | No | Only return issues seen within the last N minutes. | |
| severity | No | Filter by severity. | |
| siteApiToken | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It usefully discloses that results are trimmed to specific fields and that recency matters, but it omits the requirement for siteApiToken, rate-limit behavior, and pagination semantics. For a read-only list tool this is adequate but incomplete.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then return fields, then usage cue. No sentence is redundant; the parenthetical field list is justified because no output schema exists.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, listing the returned fields is valuable and the description covers purpose and recency well. It is slightly incomplete on auth (siteApiToken) and relationship to sibling tools, but the 80% schema coverage fills most parameter gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 80%, with descriptions for limit, types, minutes, and severity; siteApiToken is required but undocumented. The description adds "recent" context and says results are for a site, but does not explain parameter behavior beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description gives a specific verb and resource ("List recent runtime issues") plus the source (SiteLint auditor) and scope (for a site). It does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like get_issue or capture_page_issues; the "go find what I just hit" phrasing only implies the distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
"This is the 'go find what I just hit' call" gives an implied usage scenario for recent runtime issues. It does not state when to use this versus get_issue for a single issue or capture_page_issues to generate issues, nor does it provide explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Core issue tools list_issues/get_issue are clearly distinct retrieval levels, and audit_html/audit_url separate raw markup from live URL auditing. However, check_wcag_criterion overlaps heavily with audit_url's optional success-criteria filtering, and capture_page_issues vs audit_url both load pages, so an agent could sometimes hesitate between them.
All names use snake_case and a predictable verb_noun pattern: list_issues, get_issue, capture_page_issues, audit_html, audit_url, check_wcag_criterion. Singular/plural differences (get_issue vs list_issues) follow normal REST-like conventions.
Six tools is well-scoped for an auditing server, with each tool covering a distinct operation: retrieve issues, inspect issue detail, capture runtime issues, audit HTML, audit URL, and check one WCAG criterion. No obvious filler or missing bulk.
The surface covers issue discovery/detail, live page capture, HTML/URL audits, and single-criterion checks, which are the core operations for an auditor. Minor gaps exist around batch/multi-page auditing or listing available sites/audit history, but these are likely workable around.

Your agent needs to crawl a site and say what is wrong with it — broken tags, duplicate content, pages nothing can index, resources that never load. **What you can ask for** • "Crawl this site and list every page with a duplicate title or missing description." • "Which pages are non-indexable, and why?" • "Run Lighthouse on these URLs and give me the failing audits." • "Show the internal link graph and the orphan pages." • "Give me this page's raw HTML and its microdata." **How to use it** Point any MCP client at https://mcp.aisa.one/seo-onpage/mcp and sign in with OAuth — there is no key to create or paste. 20 tools: submit a crawl and read its summary, pages, resources, links and waterfall; duplicate content and duplicate tags; keyword density; non-indexable and uncrawlable resources; parsed content, raw HTML, microdata, screenshots and Lighthouse. **Why this rather than the source** A crawler you drive from the agent, with the audit results as structured data rather than a PDF. **It is also a door to the rest** The same login reaches 26 sources and 580+ operations. Find the broken pages here, then ask the same agent what those pages used to rank for — without adding a second server. **What it costs** Finding and inspecting an operation is free. Running one is billed per call at API prices, with no seat and no monthly minimum, and every call takes max_price_usd so an agent cannot overspend by accident. **Where else it reaches** https://mcp.aisa.one/seo/mcp for all of it at once — rankings, keywords, backlinks, site health and AI-answer visibility across DataForSEO, Semrush and Ahrefs.
