How to Set Up and Use Elementor
Elementor MCP is a WordPress plugin that turns an Elementor-powered site into a fully programmable MCP server, exposing up to 119 AI-ready tools that cover the entire page-building workflow. AI assistants can create and edit pages, manage layouts and containers, add and configure widgets, apply global styles, inject custom CSS/JS, and even build complete pages from declarative JSON — all without touching the WordPress admin UI. Web developers and agencies use it to let Claude design and modify Elementor pages programmatically, dramatically accelerating content production and design iteration.
Prerequisites
- WordPress installation with Elementor plugin version 3.20 or newer
- WordPress MCP Adapter plugin installed and activated
- A WordPress Application Password for authentication (generated at Users > Profile > Application Passwords)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf
Install the Elementor MCP plugin
Download the latest release ZIP from the GitHub releases page, then upload and activate it via WordPress admin at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
Install the WordPress MCP Adapter plugin
The Elementor MCP plugin requires the WordPress MCP Adapter plugin as a dependency. Install and activate it from the WordPress plugin directory or the adapter's repository.
Generate a WordPress Application Password
Go to Users > Profile in your WordPress admin, scroll to the Application Passwords section, create a new application password named 'elementor-mcp', and copy the generated password.
Configure the MCP client using the Node.js proxy
For remote or shared hosting setups, use the @msrbuilds/emcp-proxy package. This handles session management automatically. Set WP_URL, WP_USERNAME, and WP_APP_PASSWORD in the env block.
{
"mcpServers": {
"elementor-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@msrbuilds/emcp-proxy@latest"],
"env": {
"WP_URL": "https://your-site.com",
"WP_USERNAME": "admin",
"WP_APP_PASSWORD": "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx"
}
}
}
}Alternatively, use direct HTTP transport
For clients that support HTTP MCP transport, connect directly to the WordPress REST API endpoint with a Basic auth header. Base64-encode 'username:app-password' for the Authorization value.
{
"mcpServers": {
"elementor-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://your-site.com/wp-json/mcp/elementor-mcp-server",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Basic BASE64_ENCODED_CREDENTIALS"
}
}
}
}Verify the connection and available tools
After restarting your MCP client, confirm that the elementor-mcp tools are listed. You should see 62–119 tools depending on which Elementor addons are installed. Check the EMCP Tools dashboard in WordPress admin for connection details.

401 Unauthorized when connecting via HTTP
Ensure the Application Password is copied exactly as shown (with spaces). When using Basic auth, Base64-encode the string 'username:app-password' (include the spaces in the password). Verify the WordPress user has the 'edit_posts' capability.
Protocol version mismatch error
The server uses MCP protocol version 2025-06-18 but some clients default to 2024-11-05. Set the MCP_PROTOCOL_VERSION environment variable to match your client's supported version, or update your MCP client to a recent release.
Only 62 tools visible instead of 119
The full 119 tools requires Elementor Pro plus WooCommerce integration plugins. Free Elementor provides 62 tools. If you have Pro installed, check the EMCP Tools dashboard to ensure all tool groups are enabled.
