Configure the MCP server in the platform

Retrieve accessibility issue data directly into your IDE, supporting faster and more efficient remediation within existing development workflows.

To configure the MCP server:

1. Set Up an API Key in the Platform

   • Log in to the platform and create an API key, it is required to authenticate requests to the MCP server. 
     See Create an API token to use Level Access API for the steps on how to create it.

2. Configure your IDE for MCP Service (Windsurf/WebStorm Variant)

   • Open your IDE and add the following configuration (replace "your-API-key" with your actual API key):

     {
       "mcpServers": {
         "Level Access MCP": {
           "type": "http",
           "url": "https://mcp.hub.essentia11y.com/mcp",
           "headers": {
             "x-level-access-api-key": "your-api-key",
             "x-level-access-tenant-domain": "your tenant domain"
           }
         }
       }
     }

• This allows your IDE to communicate with the locally running MCP server using the correct API key.

  Please note: In the “your tenant domain” line you DO NOT need to include the whole URL, just the name of your specific organization.
