Claude Code MCP Integration

Add the MCP server so Claude Code can call commands autonomously:

elementor mcp config

Paste the output into your Claude Code mcp.json (or ~/.config/claude/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elementor-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["elementor-cli", "mcp", "serve"],
      "env": {
        "WP_URL": "${WP_URL}",
        "WP_USER": "${WP_USER}",
        "WP_APP_PASSWORD": "${WP_APP_PASSWORD}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available MCP tools: elementor_connection_test, elementor_pages_list, elementor_pages_get, elementor_pages_search, elementor_pages_replace, elementor_pages_restore, elementor_widgets_get, elementor_widgets_set.

Schema

The committed src/schema/elementor-schema.json covers the free Elementor plugin widgets only (GPL-licensed, safe to redistribute).

Elementor Pro users: place your ./plugins/elementor-pro/ directory in the project root and run:

npm run update-schema

This regenerates the schema locally with Pro widget support. The ./plugins/ directory is gitignored — Pro source is never committed.
