Title: EMCP Tools – AI Page Builder for Elementor & Block Editor via MCP: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor Author: Mian Shahzad Raza Published: October 28, 2026 Last modified: October 29, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/emcp-lite/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3771403) ![](https://ps.w.org/emcp-lite/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3771403) # EMCP Tools – AI Page Builder for Elementor & Block Editor via MCP: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor By [Mian Shahzad Raza](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mianshahzadraza/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/emcp-lite.1.0.4.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/emcp-lite/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/emcp-lite/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/emcp-lite/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/emcp-lite/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/emcp-lite/) ## Description EMCP Lite, the free edition of EMCP Tools, lets your AI assistant design pages on your site, not just write posts. Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code to “ build a pricing page in our brand colors”, and it lays out the page with Elementor containers and widgets or block editor blocks and patterns, using your brand kit. It works by turning your site into a WordPress MCP server through the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)( MCP), the open standard AI assistants use to work with external tools. The same tools handle everyday work too: drafting posts, organizing media and updating menus. Every request acts as the connected WordPress user, within that user’s permissions and only through the tools you enable. Changes are logged, and supported changes can be undone from History. #### What your AI assistant can do * Create and edit posts, pages, categories, tags and menus. * Upload, organize and resize media, and add stock photos from Unsplash, Pexels or Pixabay using your own API key. * Build and edit Elementor pages: containers, widgets, templates, global colors and fonts (when Elementor is active). * Build and edit block editor (Gutenberg) blocks and patterns, including supported block plugins such as Spectra and Kadence Blocks. * Design headers, footers and content templates with the optional Themer module. * Inspect your site: plugins, themes, users, database structure, performance and security checks. * Read your site settings. * Use bundled prompts and brand kits to keep results on brand. #### Free modules Turn modules on or off on the Modules screen. All of these are included in EMCP Lite: * [Themer](https://emcptools.com/features/themer/): build headers, footers, single, archive, search and 404 layouts and Loop Items with any page builder, and choose where each one applies. * [Brand Kits](https://emcptools.com/features/brand-kits/): one-click color and typography kits, with bundled free kits, so AI-built pages stay on brand. * [Prompts](https://emcptools.com/features/prompts/): ready-to-use prompt blueprints for building pages. * [Image Optimization](https://emcptools.com/features/image-optimization/): compress uploaded images and generate WebP versions automatically. * [SVG Uploads](https://emcptools.com/features/svg-uploads/): allow SVG uploads to the Media Library, with every file sanitized before it is saved. * [Redirect Manager](https://emcptools.com/features/redirects/): manage 301 and 302 redirects, get a suggested redirect when a page is removed or renamed, and scan for broken internal links. * [EMCP Cloud](https://emcptools.com/cloud/): optional configuration management and Gateway access. Off until you connect it. #### Tools and abilities EMCP Lite registers 154 tools as WordPress abilities through the Abilities API, and also exposes three read-only WordPress core abilities (site, user and environment info). Tools for Elementor, block plugins, themes and integrations appear only when that product is active, and a few Elementor widget and template tools also need Elementor Pro. Browse every tool in the [EMCP tool catalog](https://emcptools.com/tools/), which also lists tools from other EMCP editions. **WordPress (37 tools)** * Posts, pages and taxonomies: 9 * Media and stock images: 8 * Navigation menus: 2 * Content search: 2 * Redirects: 5 * Site inspection, read-only (plugins, themes, users, settings, database, performance and security): 11 **Elementor (64 tools)** * Query and discovery: 8 * Page management: 6 * Layout and structure: 11 * Widgets: 3 * Templates: 8 * Global colors and typography: 2 * One-call page builder: 1 * SVG icons: 1 * Atomic layout, classes and variables (Elementor 4.0+): 14 * Atomic widgets (Elementor 4.0+): 10 **Block editor (32 tools)** * Blocks and patterns: 10 * Spectra: 10 * Kadence Blocks: 12 **Themes (5 tools)** * Active theme: 1 * Astra: 2 * Kadence: 2 **Plugin integrations (10 tools)** * ACF (Advanced Custom Fields): 2 * Meta Box: 2 * Contact Form 7: 2 * Slim SEO: 2 * Visibility: 2 **History and safety (6 tools)** * Changes and rollback: 3 * Content Mirror (Git export and restore): 3 #### Stay in control * Choose exactly which tools AI clients may use on the Tools screen. * Every request runs with the connected user’s WordPress capabilities. * [History](https://emcptools.com/features/history/) records the changes made through EMCP, with one-click undo where supported. * The [MCP Log](https://emcptools.com/features/mcp-log/) shows each request from your connected clients. * [Management access](https://emcptools.com/features/management-access/) lets you decide which administrators can change EMCP settings. EMCP Lite does not install, update or remove plugins or themes, manage users, change site settings or run custom code. #### Connect your AI client EMCP Lite uses the free, official [MCP Adapter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mcp-adapter/) plugin from WordPress.org to provide the MCP endpoint. If it is not active yet, EMCP Lite shows a notice with a one-click button that installs and activates it for you. The Connection screen then guides you through setup for Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Antigravity and other MCP clients, using OAuth sign- in or a WordPress Application Password. #### Video tutorials Walkthroughs from the EMCP community: **Build a full site without opening the Elementor editor** **Use EMCP with open models such as DeepSeek, Kimi and MiniMax** **Build Elementor websites with Claude Code** **Build a website with Claude and Elementor** **Design Elementor pages with Claude Code** #### Documentation Step-by-step guides are on the [EMCP documentation site](https://emcptools.com/docs/): * [Installation](https://emcptools.com/docs/getting-started/installation/) * [Requirements](https://emcptools.com/docs/getting-started/requirements/) * [First steps](https://emcptools.com/docs/getting-started/first-steps/) * [Connection screen overview](https://emcptools.com/docs/admin/connection/) * [Connect Claude Desktop](https://emcptools.com/docs/connecting/claude-desktop/) * [Connect Claude Code](https://emcptools.com/docs/connecting/claude-code/) * [Connect ChatGPT](https://emcptools.com/docs/connecting/chatgpt-app/) * [Connect Cursor](https://emcptools.com/docs/connecting/cursor/) * [Connect VS Code](https://emcptools.com/docs/connecting/vscode/) * [Connect Antigravity](https://emcptools.com/docs/connecting/antigravity/) * [Connect with OAuth](https://emcptools.com/docs/connecting/oauth/) * [Turn tools on or off](https://emcptools.com/docs/advanced/disabling-tools/) * [History and undo](https://emcptools.com/docs/admin/history/) * [MCP Log](https://emcptools.com/docs/admin/mcp-log/) * [How the MCP endpoint works](https://emcptools.com/docs/advanced/mcp-protocol/) * [Documentation FAQ](https://emcptools.com/docs/faq/) The documentation covers every EMCP edition, so some pages describe tools that EMCP Lite does not include. Elementor is optional: the WordPress and Gutenberg tools work without it, and some integrations need their respective plugins. EMCP Lite is independently developed and is not affiliated with WordPress, Elementor, Anthropic or OpenAI. #### Privacy and external services EMCP Lite does not send data anywhere until you connect an AI client or enable an optional service. **AI clients.** A direct MCP connection communicates only with the AI client you choose. The client receives the results of the tools it calls, which can include site content or personal data the connected WordPress user can access. Check your AI client’s privacy policy before connecting it. Activity and History records are stored on your own site. **EMCP Cloud (optional).** Local tools work without a Cloud account. Choosing Connect sends your site URL, site name, an installation identifier and OAuth registration and authorization details to emcptools.com. Once connected, the plugin exchanges and refreshes tokens and can request account and service status. Settings sync sends supported EMCP preferences, including tool toggles, modules and your free-text site context. Credentials are excluded, but site-context text is not redacted, so do not put passwords or API keys in it. Hosted services may require a paid plan. A developer or administrator can configure a different Cloud endpoint. **Gateway access (optional).** Gateway is a separate opt-in that is off by default. Enabling it creates a revocable EMCP OAuth token for the authorizing WordPress user and sends it to the EMCP service. It does not send a WordPress password or Application Password. The token works only on the EMCP MCP endpoint, not wp-admin, the WordPress REST API or EMCP settings. Gateway requests act as that user, within the enabled tools and that user’s permissions, and can include write operations. Gateway relays MCP requests and responses, including any content or personal data the selected tools return. You can turn off Gateway and disconnect Cloud on the Connection screen at any time. * Service: [emcptools.com](https://emcptools.com/) * [Terms of service](https://emcptools.com/terms-of-service/) * [Privacy policy](https://emcptools.com/privacy/) **Stock photos (optional).** Unsplash, Pexels and Pixabay are contacted only after you add that provider’s API key and request a search or download. Requests send your API key, search terms and selected image identifiers, and images are downloaded from the provider’s servers. Unsplash download notifications are sent when its API requires them. Provider terms and image licenses apply: * Unsplash: [terms](https://unsplash.com/terms) and [privacy policy](https://unsplash.com/privacy) * Pexels: [terms](https://www.pexels.com/terms-of-service/) and [privacy policy](https://www.pexels.com/privacy-policy/) * Pixabay: [terms](https://pixabay.com/service/terms/) and [privacy policy](https://pixabay.com/service/privacy/) **Other requests.** When you click Install and activate MCP Adapter, the plugin is downloaded from WordPress.org. Plugin and theme search uses the WordPress.org API, sending your search terms and page number. When a security check runs, it looks up your installed plugins’ slugs on the WordPress.org API to compare versions. Page inspection and media import tools request only the URLs you provide or select. Tutorial videos open on YouTube only when you click them; their thumbnails are bundled with the plugin. #### Source code The full source code, including the uncompressed admin interface source in the admin- src folder, ships with the plugin and is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/msrbuilds/emcp-lite). To rebuild the admin scripts, run `npm ci` and then `npm run build` with a current Node.js LTS release. Composer dependencies are included in the vendor folder, with composer.json and composer.lock. Bundled libraries: * [Swiper](https://github.com/nolimits4web/swiper) 14.3.0 (MIT) * [Fuse.js](https://github.com/krisk/Fuse) (Apache-2.0) * [jsdiff](https://github.com/kpdecker/jsdiff) (BSD-3-Clause) * [Lucide](https://github.com/lucide-icons/lucide) (ISC) * [svg-sanitize](https://github.com/darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer) (GPL-2.0-or-later) License notices are included in the assets/licenses, assets/fonts and assets/lib/ swiper folders. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard: recent AI activity, connected clients and tool status at a glance.⌉⌊ Dashboard: recent AI activity, connected clients and tool status at a glance.⌉[ Dashboard: recent AI activity, connected clients and tool status at a glance.

In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, search for “EMCP Lite”, then install and activate it. 2. If prompted, click Install and activate MCP Adapter. EMCP Lite needs this official WordPress.org plugin to connect AI clients. 3. Open EMCP in the admin menu and choose Connection. 4. Pick your AI client and follow the steps to connect it. The [connection guides](https://emcptools.com/docs/admin/connection/) walk through each client. 5. On the Tools screen, review which tools your AI client may use before allowing write operations. ## FAQ ### What is MCP? The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use external tools. EMCP Lite adds a WordPress MCP server to your site, so a compatible assistant can read and update your content through the tools you allow. ### Which AI clients work with EMCP Lite? Any client that supports remote MCP servers. The Connection screen has guided setup for Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Antigravity, OpenClaw and Hermes, plus a generic option for other clients. See the [connection guides](https://emcptools.com/docs/admin/connection/) for details. ### Do I need Elementor? No. The WordPress, media and block editor tools work on any site. Elementor tools appear when Elementor is active. ### Why do I need the MCP Adapter plugin? [MCP Adapter](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mcp-adapter/) is the official WordPress plugin that turns WordPress abilities into an MCP server. EMCP Lite adds its tools to that server. Using the official plugin means it is updated by the WordPress team and shared with other MCP plugins on your site. EMCP Lite installs and activates it in one click. ### Do I need an EMCP Cloud account? No. Connecting directly works without an account or license key. EMCP Cloud and Gateway are optional hosted services with their own plans. ### What can an AI assistant change on my site? Only what you allow. It uses the tools enabled on the Tools screen and the permissions of the WordPress user it connects as. EMCP Lite cannot install or remove plugins or themes, manage users, change site settings or run custom code. Review changes in History and undo them where supported. ### Where is the documentation? On the [EMCP documentation site](https://emcptools.com/docs/). Questions and bug reports are welcome in the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/emcp-lite/). ### Can I use EMCP Lite alongside another EMCP Tools edition? Please activate only one EMCP edition at a time. EMCP Lite pauses automatically when another edition is active. ### Does uninstalling delete my pages or designs? No. Your content, Themer layouts, brand kits and History are kept. Uninstalling removes local connection credentials and scheduled maintenance tasks. If you use EMCP Cloud, disconnect it before uninstalling to remove the connection on the service side too. ### Can every change be undone? Not every change. History shows which entries support undo. An undo can be refused if the item changed again afterwards. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2ddc62f3848030cb9292a029b36452665bfe3c7381b31d64e7b20c7a2d303cb8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Emcp is Powerful MCP Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/emcp-is-powerful-mcp-plugin/)󠁿 [huzaifaaajid](https://profiles.wordpress.org/huzaifaaajid/) October 29, 2026 Emcp is Powerful MCP Plugin.

My most recent project says it all. I finished a complete website in just 3 days. Doing the same thing the usual way would easily have taken me at least 20 days. That’s not an exaggeration, and it’s the reason I’m writing this review. I’ve tried a few other options. Most of them either break the layout, give you half-working widgets, or need constant fixing afterwards. EMCP is different. When I ask Claude to build a section, it actually builds it properly inside Elementor, with real containers, widgets, global colors and typography, not some messy HTML block dumped on the page. I can open the page in the Elementor editor afterwards and everything is clean and editable, which matters a lot when you’re handing a site over to a client. It’s not just page building either. Popups, theme templates, menus, media, posts, global classes and variables can all be handled from the same chat. The change history and rollback option has also saved me more than once when I wanted to undo something quickly. If you work with Elementor and want to use AI properly, not as a gimmick, just install this one. Big thanks to the developer for building something this solid. Keep it up! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/12ab859e82d060185d4b6bdfb6bb3127f2ee21f1ad2602d6c4246d00075b93c5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[EMCP Makes AI-Powered Elementor Designing Easier](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/emcp-makes-ai-powered-elementor-designing-easier/)󠁿 [Izaan Bin Haider](https://profiles.wordpress.org/izaanbinhaider/) October 29, 2026 I’ve used EMCP on multiple WordPress websites, and it has been a useful addition to my Elementor workflow. It helps me build and manage page layouts more efficiently, especially when working on complete websites. A great tool for developers who want to streamline their workflow.
