HubVibe

Machine-payable site compliance audits. WCAG 2.1 A/AA, SEO, security headers, and performance — deterministic rules against the real rendered page, priced per call, payable by software with no account and no human in the loop.

Live: https://hubvibe-831480473793.us-south1.run.app

Every check is a deterministic rule run against the live page. Nothing here is a language model judging whether a site looks compliant, and a check that could not run is returned as an error, never as a passing result.

There are two ways in. Both take under a minute.

---

1 — Gate your CI on it: one step, nothing to install

- uses: Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe@v1
  with:
    url: https://staging.example.com
    api-key: ${{ secrets.HUBVIBE_API_KEY }}

That is the entire integration. Every pull request now runs the full compliance bundle against your deployed preview and fails the build on the regression that caused it — not in an audit six months later.

• Findings render in the job summary: rule, impact, nodes hit, link to the fix.
• A check that failed to execute is an error, never a silent pass — a green build means the checks actually ran.
• fail-on-error: false keeps our outage from ever blocking your deploy; your real regressions still gate it.
• $0.10 per PR for all four checks as one bundle, $0.03 for a single check. A repo merging 100 PRs a month spends $10. No subscription, no seat licence, no minimum.

Gate a promotion on it:

- name: Audit staging
  id: audit
  uses: Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe@v1
  with:
    url: https://staging.example.com
    api-key: ${{ secrets.HUBVIBE_API_KEY }}

- name: Promote to production
  if: steps.audit.outputs.passed == 'true'
  run: ./deploy-production.sh

Keys come from /billing/checkout. Or skip the key entirely — see the second way in.

2 — Point your agent at it: no key, no signup, pay per call

An unauthenticated call is not an error here. It is the price sheet:

curl -i -X POST https://hubvibe-831480473793.us-south1.run.app/audit/wcag \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
WWW-Authenticate: Payment ...

{
  "error": "payment_required",
  "price_usd": 0.03,
  "accepts": [ { "protocol": "x402", ... }, { "protocol": "mpp", ... } ],
  "docs": "/.well-known/agent.json"
}

An agent reads the 402, signs an x402 payment (USDC on Base), retries with X-PAYMENT, and gets the audit. Payment is verified before the audit runs and settled only after it produces a result — a failed audit is never charged, on any rail.

For Python agents and swarms, the bundled tollbooth client does the whole loop — challenge, budget check, signing, retry — with two hard spending limits enforced before anything is signed:

from integrations.hubvibe_tollbooth import HubVibeTollbooth

booth = HubVibeTollbooth.from_env()          # HUBVIBE_WALLET_KEY or HUBVIBE_API_KEY
result = booth.audit("https://example.com")  # full bundle, $0.10
result = booth.audit("https://example.com", endpoint="wcag")  # $0.03

accepts lists only the payment rails that can genuinely settle on this deployment. A rail that is not configured is omitted rather than advertised with a null recipient, so a paying agent never builds a payment that cannot land.

How machines find this node without being told the URL: every 402 carries x402 Bazaar discovery data, so facilitators index it by capability and price; the MCP endpoint at /mcp is listed in the official registry as io.github.Its-fortunatefolly/hubvibe; and /.well-known/agent.json is generated from the same catalog the routes charge from, so the advertised price is the charged price by construction.

Endpoints

Body is {"url": "..."}; wcag and seo also accept raw {"html": "..."}.

Paying

Three rails, all fail-closed — no valid credential means no audit runs:

• X-API-Key — subscription key from /billing/checkout
• X-PAYMENT — x402
• Authorization: Payment ... — MPP (Stripe Shared Payment Tokens for fiat, or Tempo for crypto)

Which are live is deployment-specific. Read accepts in any 402, or payment.methods in the agent manifest — both list only what actually works.

What you are charged for

Only an audit that produced a result.

• An audit that could not run returns 502 and is never settled. x402 payments are verified to grant access but only settled after the audit has delivered.
• A rate-limited request returns 429 with Retry-After, checked before any payment is touched, so it costs nothing.

Discovery

Agents shouldn't have to read documentation to use this:

Integrations

In wcag-audit-engine/integrations/:

• mcp_server.py — MCP server exposing all five audits as tools, built on the official SDK. Standalone, with its own mcp_requirements.txt: the mcp package needs a newer Starlette than the deployed service pins for FastAPI, so it is deliberately kept out of the service's dependency tree.
• langchain_tool.py — LangChain tool wrapper. Subscription key only; it raises on a 402 rather than paying.
• hubvibe_tollbooth.py — the client for agents running unattended. Same audits, but it settles the 402 itself from an EVM wallet via x402, so no human has to go get a key. Enforces a per-call cap and a process-lifetime budget, both before anything is signed — an autonomous loop with an unbounded wallet is a drained wallet. Exposes LangChain/CrewAI tools via hubvibe_tools().
• github_action.yml — a complete, copyable workflow file. It calls the published action rather than curl-ing the API: a hand-rolled HTTP step has to re-implement the retry policy, the 4xx no-retry rule and the JSON encoding of the target URL, and then be maintained against the API by whoever pasted it. One file, one URL to edit, on: push and on: pull_request.

At the repo root:

• action.yml — the composite GitHub Action, and the single copy of it. It retries transient failures but never a 4xx (repeating a 402 on a metered endpoint risks paying twice for one answer), renders findings into the job summary via scripts/render_audit_summary.py, and can be adopted with fail-on-error: false so an outage in this service cannot block someone else's deploys.
• scripts/publish-action-repo.sh — generates the standalone repo the Marketplace listing needs (see below).
• glama.json — listing metadata for the Glama MCP directory.

For people, not pipelines

The machine API is the product. There is also a website for humans who want a report rather than an integration — priced per site watched, not per scan. There is deliberately no free scan: an audit costs a real browser page load, so giving them away funds strangers' compute and invites abuse.

Publishing the GitHub Action

Two separate things, with different rules:

Direct use works today. An action.yml at a public repo's root is usable as-is, no Marketplace involved:

- uses: Its-fortunatefolly/HubVibe@v1
  with:
    url: https://your-site.example.com
    api-key: ${{ secrets.HUBVIBE_API_KEY }}

A Marketplace listing needs a different repo. GitHub requires an action repository to contain a single root action.yml and no workflow files at all. This repo has .github/workflows/, so it can never be listed itself — moving action.yml around does not help. Generate the clean standalone repo instead:

bash scripts/publish-action-repo.sh /tmp/hubvibe-audit-action

It copies action.yml and the summary renderer verbatim (so the published action cannot drift from the one in this repo), writes a listing README, and prints the exact push/tag/publish steps.

Publishing to the MCP registry

server.json in this repo root registers the live /mcp endpoint as a remote server, so no package needs publishing anywhere.

mcp-publisher is a Go binary from the registry's GitHub releases — it is not on npm (the mcp-publisher package on npm is an unrelated browser-automation tool):

curl -L "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/releases/download/v1.8.1/mcp-publisher_linux_amd64.tar.gz" \
  | tar xz mcp-publisher
./mcp-publisher login github     # opens a browser; proves you own the namespace
./mcp-publisher publish

The name field is io.github.its-fortunatefolly/hubvibe, which the GitHub login authenticates against. server.json is validated against the official schema (note: description is capped at 100 characters).

Bump version before every publish. The registry treats a version as immutable and rejects a re-publish of one it already serves, so a corrected server.json left at its old version fails at the last step — after the browser login, which is the most annoying place to find out. Check what is actually live first; the registry is public and needs no auth:

curl -s "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=hubvibe"

Correcting text without bumping the version is the trap: the file reads right in the repo, the registry keeps serving the old copy, and nothing reports a problem. On 2026-08-11 the registry took 1.1.0 whose header still read "pay per call with x402/MPP"; the repo dropped that rail assertion the same week, and the two stayed out of sync because a republish of 1.1.0 could never have landed.

Repository layout

wcag-audit-engine/        the audit service (this is the product)
  app/                    FastAPI app, audit engines, payment rails
  integrations/           MCP server, LangChain tool, GitHub Action
privacy-compliance-scanner/
dead-end-resolver/
scripts/verify-live.sh    verifies a deployed node from outside
tests/

Running the tests

pip install -r requirements.txt
pytest tests/ -q

scripts/verify-live.sh checks a deployed node end to end — service up, the whole discovery surface, every paid route answering 402 rather than 404, and that the 402 is actually machine-actionable. Green unit tests do not prove a deploy; this does.

Honest limits

These are narrow, disclosed, automated signals. They are not a substitute for a manual accessibility audit, a penetration test, or a Lighthouse run, and automated scanning is not a compliance certification. Each function's docstring states exactly what it does and does not check.
