What works today. What still needs you.

Read from the current MCP server release, first-class reads and writes across the builder structure.

Works now

  • Reads three widget trees in parallel: includes/widgets/ (v3 core), modules/*/widgets/ (v3 module), and modules/atomic-widgets/elements/ (v4 atomic).
  • Writes v4 Atomic elements (partial): 20 catalogued types (9 atomic widgets + 11 layout containers) with $$type envelope preservation, plus per-breakpoint (tablet, mobile, tablet_extra, mobile_extra, widescreen) and per-state (hover, focus, active, and more) styling in the per-element styles map. Trees are normalised and validated before they persist.
  • Tags each widget as widget_v3 or widget_v4 so AI prompts target the right schema.
  • Dedicated tools for global colors, typography variables, and design system reads (wordpress_elementor_design_system, wordpress_update_elementor_global_colors).
  • Atomic v4 variables (respira_elementor_color_variables, _typography_variables, _spacing_variables, _breakpoint_variables) round-trip cleanly with the $$type envelope.
  • Pro widgets are read-detected; if Pro is active, Pro widgets show in wordpress_list_elementor_widgets alongside Free.

Where a human still steps in

  • Atomic types outside the 20-type catalog refuse with a 422 that lists the supported types instead of silently dropping the write; edit those elements in the Elementor canvas for now.
  • Caller-supplied widget IDs (e.g. global-primary) are preserved, but Elementor regenerates internal IDs on its own writes, diff carefully.
  • Some Pro display conditions (date ranges, geolocation) read fine but can't be written through the MCP yet.
  • Theme builder templates (header, footer, single, archive) are listed but the structural editor for them is read-only in the current release.

Hit one of these and the snapshot gives you a clean way back.

Browse every tool

Three prompts you can paste right now.

Each one assumes Respira is connected to a Elementor site. Paste it into your AI tool and run.

  1. Refresh CTA copy on every landing page

    Find every Elementor button widget whose text is "Get started" on pages tagged "campaign". Change the text to "Start free" and the URL to /pricing. Show me the diff first.

  2. Migrate to Elementor v4 atomic variables

    List every color value used across all pages built with Elementor. Group them by RGB value and tell me which would fit into a design-system palette of 6 colors.

  3. Audit Pro widget usage

    Which Elementor Pro widgets are actually used on this site, on how many pages each? Output a markdown table.
