MCP serverDev tools

front-end-checklist is an MCP server that reviews frontend code and live pages against 386 quality-gated web development rules. It gives your AI agent a structured way to inspect markup, styles, and rendered output for common web development issues. You get a pass/fail style report you can act on before shipping.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Have an AI agent that can connect to MCP servers.

Then ask your AI: use front-end-checklist to review code

What your AI can do with it

  • Review frontend code against 386 quality-gated web development rules
  • Check live pages for the same rule set
  • Report which rules pass and which fail
  • Cover markup, styles, and rendered output in one review
  • Return findings your agent can turn into fixes

Getting started

  1. Have an AI agent that can connect to MCP servers.
  2. Add front-end-checklist as an MCP server in that agent's configuration.
  3. Point the agent at the frontend code or live page you want reviewed.
  4. Ask the agent to run the checklist and summarize the results.

Install front-end-checklist

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on ahel rather than in each client’s config.

The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents

--

Front-End Checklist is the open-source front-end quality system for humans and AI agents. It turns front-end best practices into a practical review workflow you can browse on the web, run through with MCP-compatible tools, or work through directly in this README.


Introduction

Companion project: UX Patterns for Devs helps developers choose the right UI pattern before using Front-End Checklist to verify implementation quality.
