A WordPress plugin that extends the WordPress MCP Adapter to expose Elementor data, widgets, and page design tools as MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools. This enables AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients to create and manipulate Elementor page designs programmatically.

• Atomic Elements (Elementor 4.0+) — 13 dedicated tools for Elementor's atomic system: flexbox, div-block, heading, paragraph, button, image, svg, youtube, video, divider, plus universal add-atomic-widget / update-atomic-widget and detect-elementor-version
• Theme Builder — Create theme templates (header/footer/single/archive), set display conditions (Pro)
• Dynamic Tags — List all available dynamic tags, bind dynamic data to element settings (Pro)
• Popup Builder — Create popup templates, configure triggers/conditions/timing (Pro)
• Template Tools — Save pages or elements as reusable templates, apply templates to pages
• Global Settings — Update site-wide color palettes and typography presets
• Brand Kits — One-click coordinated color + typography kits. Apply a curated brand kit and the whole site re-skins (system tokens + Theme Style defaults); back up and restore any time. 10 kits are free to apply; the full 50-kit library and the apply-brand-kit MCP tool are Pro
• AI Widget Builder (Pro) — Let an AI agent design custom Elementor widgets from a structured spec — no hand-written PHP. The plugin compiles the spec + an HTML template into a sandboxed Widget_Base class (35 control types, optional per-widget CSS/JS) that appears under a "Custom (EMCP)" category in the editor; a runtime safety net keeps a bad widget from breaking the editor
• Composite Tools — Build a complete page from a declarative JSON structure in a single call
• Stock Images — Search Openverse for Creative Commons images, sideload into Media Library, add to pages
• SVG Icons — Upload SVG icons from URL or raw markup for use with Elementor icon widgets
• Custom Code — Add custom CSS (element/page level), inject JavaScript, create site-wide code snippets for head/body injection
• Low-tools Mode — One-click toggle that filters the active tool list to a curated essentials set (~50 tools) so MCP clients with strict tool caps (Antigravity, Gemini API, etc.) stay under their limits
• Admin Dashboard — Dedicated top-level EMCP Tools menu with Tools / Connection / Prompts / Templates / Brand Kits / Skills / Widget Builder / Changelog tabs. Toggle individual tools on/off, view connection configs for all supported MCP clients, and reach the Get Support portal from any tab

Requirements

Installation

1. Install and activate Elementor (version 3.20+).
2. Install and activate the WordPress MCP Adapter plugin.
3. Download the latest release zip from the Releases page.
4. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and upload the downloaded zip file.
5. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
6. Open the new EMCP Tools top-level menu in the WordPress admin sidebar to configure tools and view connection info.

Connecting to the MCP Server

Connect to your WordPress site from any AI client using HTTP. No proxy or Node.js needed — just a WordPress Application Password.

Prerequisites

1. Create an Application Password at Users > Profile > Application Passwords.
2. Base64-encode your credentials: echo -n "username:app-password" | base64
3. Your MCP endpoint is: https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/elementor-mcp-server

Tip: The plugin's EMCP Tools > Connection admin screen can generate all configs automatically — just enter your username and Application Password.

Claude Code

Add as .mcp.json in your project root:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "elementor-mcp": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/elementor-mcp-server",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS"
            }
        }
    }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (%APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "elementor-mcp": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/elementor-mcp-server",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS"
            }
        }
    }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global config:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "elementor-mcp": {
            "url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/elementor-mcp-server",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS"
            }
        }
    }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "elementor-mcp": {
            "serverUrl": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/elementor-mcp-server",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS"
            }
        }
    }
}

Antigravity

Add to ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "elementor-mcp": {
            "serverUrl": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/elementor-mcp-server",
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS"
            }
        }
    }
}

WP-CLI stdio (local development)

For local development with WP-CLI available, you can use the stdio transport (no HTTP auth needed):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "elementor-mcp": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "wp",
            "args": [
                "mcp-adapter", "serve",
                "--server=elementor-mcp-server",
                "--user=admin",
                "--path=/path/to/wordpress"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Node.js proxy (remote sites or protocol compatibility)

For remote WordPress sites, environments without WP-CLI, or when your AI client needs a different MCP protocol version, use the Node.js proxy. Your AI client launches it as a local subprocess, so it must run on the machine with the client — not on the WordPress server. On shared hosting you have no local access to the plugin directory, so use one of the two methods below.

Recommended — npx runner (nothing to install or keep in sync):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "elementor-mcp": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "@msrbuilds/emcp-proxy@latest"],
            "env": {
                "WP_URL": "https://your-site.com",
