What is the Elementor MCP server?
The Elementor MCP server from AcrossAI lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client edit pages, widgets, templates, kits and theme builder conditions in Elementor’s own data on your WordPress site. It runs inside WordPress through the free Abilities Manager and MCP Manager plugins, and works through Elementor itself — with no third-party relay in between.

What your AI can do with Elementor
Elementor keeps a page’s layout as JSON in its own document data, not in the post content. These abilities let an AI assistant read and edit that data directly: add and change elements and widgets, create pages and templates, manage theme builder conditions and global kits, and keep Elementor’s cache in step.
Edit pages element by element
Find, add, update, move, duplicate and remove containers and widgets inside any Elementor document.
Templates and theme builder
Create, duplicate, import and export templates, and set where theme builder templates apply.
Kits and global styles
Read and update kit settings, switch the active kit, and list global widgets.
Keep the site in step
Clear Elementor’s cache, replace URLs across every document, and manage experiments and maintenance mode.
Troubleshooting
Elementor changes not showing? Three reasons it happens quietly.
Each of these leaves the edit saved while the page visitors see stays the same — or breaks.
Elementor’s CSS is cached
Elementor serves generated CSS until its cache is cleared. Clear Elementor Cache clears it for one post or the whole site.
Old URLs after a migration
Moving domains leaves the old URLs inside every Elementor document. Replace URLs in Elementor Documents fixes them, with a dry run first.
Editing post content does nothing
Elementor ignores post content for its pages. These abilities edit Elementor’s own document data instead.
Try asking
Paste one into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor once your site is connected.
“Change the hero heading on the homepage to ‘Built for agencies’.”
“Add a button linking to /pricing/ under the first section.”
“Duplicate the About page layout as a new Careers page.”
“Which templates does the theme builder apply to single posts?”
“Replace http://old-site.com with https://new-site.com in every Elementor page.”
“Put the site in maintenance mode while I update the theme.”

Elementor + AI questions
Is there an MCP server for Elementor?
Yes. AcrossAI turns your WordPress site into an MCP server with dedicated Elementor abilities, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or a local model can work with Elementor directly. It’s free on WordPress.org.
Can ChatGPT or Claude manage Elementor?
Yes, once your site is connected over MCP. Ask in plain English and your AI calls the Elementor abilities on this page, with risky changes gated behind an explicit confirm.
Is the Elementor integration free?
Yes. All of its abilities ship in Abilities Manager, which is free on WordPress.org.
Does it need Elementor Pro?
Most abilities work with the free plugin. Form submissions, custom code and theme builder conditions need Elementor Pro.
Can the AI break a page by accident?
Every ability that deletes or overwrites Elementor data is marked destructive in the list below, so your AI knows to take care. Emptying the template trash and deleting form submissions need an explicit confirm, and URL replacement offers a dry run that previews changes without writing.
Which AI assistants work with it?
Any MCP client: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, Claude Code, and local runtimes such as Ollama, LM Studio and Open WebUI.
Does my site data pass through AcrossAI’s servers?
No. Your WordPress site runs the MCP server and your AI client connects to it directly. There is no hosted gateway in the middle.
Is AcrossAI affiliated with Elementor?
No. AcrossAI built and maintains this integration independently, using Elementor’s public APIs.
