Run WCAG math inside VS Code Copilot

Stop letting your agent guess if your text is readable. With this MCP Server, VS Code Copilot uses `check_color_contrast` to run the real WCAG 2.1 relative luminance formula on your styles. The tool returns the exact ratio directly to your chat panel, so you know your design meets accessibility requirements without leaving your code.

Automate contrast checks during code reviews

Your development team can use VS Code Copilot to audit color files. The MCP tool runs `check_color_contrast` across your theme files to flag unreadable text before it hits production. This brings mathematical accuracy to your team's pull requests without requiring external web tools.

Parse any color format in your workspace

The `check_color_contrast` tool handles HEX, RGB, HSL, and standard CSS names. VS Code Copilot reads these formats directly from your source files and checks them instantly. This saves your team from converting color formats manually during design system audits.
