Windsurf calculates color contrast ratios

Cascade doesn't just guess if your text is readable. It uses `check_color_contrast` to parse HEX, RGB, and CSS color strings against your background. You get an instant verdict on WCAG 2.1 compliance. It breaks down AA and AAA results for normal and large text sizes immediately.

Automated design checks for Windsurf

Forget manually checking hex codes in a browser. This MCP Server handles the math while Cascade focuses on the rest of your UI logic. It returns the raw ratio along with a clear pass or fail. You see the data right inside your editor, keeping your workflow moving without context switching.

Real-time compliance for Windsurf

Feed any color combination into the tool to see if it meets accessibility requirements. It handles complex CSS formats so you don't have to convert anything. The output tells you exactly where your design stands. No more ambiguity when a PR gets flagged for poor contrast.

Common questions about Color Contrast Checker Alternative MCP in Windsurf

Yes. Add the server to your configuration and Cascade picks up the `check_color_contrast` tool automatically. You can then ask it to audit specific components.

Manual checks rely on your eyes, which fail at specific edge cases. This server uses the official WCAG 2.1 luminance formula to give you a definitive answer.

You can have Cascade iterate through your CSS files and run the check on every color pair it finds. It automates the tedious part of your accessibility audit.

Open your Cascade settings, find the MCP section, and paste the server URL. It connects in seconds.

Your color values stay local to your machine. The server only processes the HEX or RGB strings you send it through the MCP connection.
