Use its widgets, and let your AI build and target your headers and footers.
Ultimate Addons for Elementor, which you may still know as Header Footer Elementor, is two plugins wearing one coat. It registers Elementor widgets like any addon pack, and it stores your header, footer, and block templates along with the display conditions that decide where each one appears. It is the only integration in this group with a write tool, because that template data is something nothing else can manage for you.
So your agent can discover and place its widgets, and it can create a header, decide exactly where it shows, retarget it later, or remove it. You describe the intent and the display conditions get handled. The template record and its content stay separate steps on purpose: create-template hands back an ID, and you build the actual header with the same Elementor tools you would use on any page.
Once Ultimate Addons for Elementor is active, ask any MCP client, Claude, Cursor, or your own, to do these in plain language.
Real instructions you can hand your agent for Ultimate Addons for Elementor.
"Create a header template and show it on the whole site except the checkout page."
"Which templates are live right now, and where does each one appear?"
"Build a footer that only shows on blog posts."
Create a header, target it, then build it, how EMCP drives Ultimate Addons for Elementor.
uae-write({ operation: "create-template", arguments: { title: "Main Header", type: "header" } })
// -> { template_id: 812 }
uae-write({ operation: "set-display-conditions",
arguments: { template_id: 812, include: ["entire-website"] } })
// build the content with the normal Elementor tools
add-container({ post_id: 812 })Note: Registers only when Ultimate Addons is active. Reads on by default; the write tool renders site-wide, so it is opt-in.
Ultimate Addons for Elementor reads and writes come with EMCP Pro, alongside every other Pro plugin integration, AI-assisted building, 50 premium templates, and 50+ prompts. The free plugin already includes the full Elementor, Gutenberg, WordPress, and Themes toolkits, Pro adds the deep third-party integrations.
Yes. Brainstorm Force renamed it to Ultimate Addons for Elementor. The wordpress.org slug is still header-footer-elementor and its internal names still say HFE, so EMCP detects it by those while calling it by its current name.
They both build headers and footers into the same render slots, so EMCP shows a notice asking you to pick one and resolves the clash per slot in the meantime: where Themer has a matching template it wins, and any slot Themer does not claim still renders from Ultimate Addons. An existing footer keeps working while you decide.
A header renders on every page, which is exactly why the write tool ships disabled until you turn it on under EMCP Tools → Tools → Elementor Addons, and why deleting a template requires explicit confirmation. While building, keep the template in draft and check its display conditions with get-template before publishing.
