Malimbe by Beyond A11y

Malimbe by Beyond A11y is an AI accessibility tool for coding agents. It runs as an MCP server with accessibility skills and a prompt builder inside Claude Code, VS Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and any editor that speaks mcp.json. Your agent builds accessible components and audits sites, repos and unhosted code against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA.

• Build: generates components with the full keyboard, focus and ARIA contract for the pattern you describe.
• Audit: axe-core audits of live URLs, same-origin crawls and unhosted code served on a private local page, plus checks (keyboard flow, screen-reader announcements, reading order, status messages) that static analysis misses.
• Govern: a release gate that blocks on critical defects and records where the audited code came from.

Malimbe is honest about limits: automated checks are necessary but not sufficient. Keyboard flows, screen-reader output and cognitive clarity still need manual, persona-based testing.
