What is the Tactual MCP Server?

Screen-reader navigation cost analyzer. Measures how hard it is for AT users to discover, reach, and operate web content.

The short version

Screen-reader navigation cost analyzer. Measures how many keystrokes a screen-reader user needs to discover, reach, and operate every interactive target on your page — under a specific AT profile (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver).

  • Captures Playwright accessibility snapshots + screen-reader announcement simulation
  • Optionally explores hidden branches (menus, dialogs, tabs, disclosures) and probes them with real keyboard events, including APG-style widget contracts and form-error flows
  • Builds a navigation graph with entry points (landmarks, headings, linear Tab) and scores every target
  • Optionally validates predicted paths against @guidepup/virtual-screen-reader for calibration
