I’ve haven’t used any MCP so far but as a disabled person I see use cases in accessibility for MCPs doing browser/smartphone automation.
But any accessibility tool will be exploited by nefarious actors so I wonder how many main stream websites/apps would implement these MCP.
Has anyone tried any MCP for improving accessibility?

How so?
Android smartphone bot farms use the accessibility service to automate usage of apps.
Audio captchas are often used by bots.
Anything that makes it easier to automate will make bad actors more efficient.
So people like ticket sales sites, eBay etc. It will make it easier for those sites to have all the tickets purchased or for auctions to be sniped etc.
FWIU, these sort of sites actually (currently at least) put on measures to try and stop bots using them for these reasons.
Scalping tickets and sniping auctions are legitimate use cases by customers.
“Use it, but not like that” is not a legitimate position to take.
