The WordPress MCP plugin that installs in minutes.
EMCP is a free WordPress plugin that adds a Model Context Protocol server to your site. Install it, connect your AI client, and let Claude, Cursor, or any MCP agent build Elementor pages and manage your whole WordPress from a prompt.
What you need.
EMCP is a standard WordPress plugin: activate it like any other. Requirements are minimal:
- WordPress 6.9+: the Abilities API is in core.
- PHP 8.1+: the MCP Adapter ships bundled with the plugin.
- Elementor (optional): 3.20+ for Elementor page-building tools. Other integrations need their own supported plugins or themes.
- An MCP client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, VS Code, and more.
Install and connect in a few steps.
No build step, no external service. Four steps from download to your first prompt.

Prompt
Ask your AI to build a page or manage content. Every call is capability-checked against your user.
509 tools, one plugin.
Once active, your AI can call tools across Elementor, Gutenberg, content, plugins and themes, users, media, the database, the filesystem, performance and security, redirect management, Kadence/Astra theme settings, and plugin integrations. Reads are on by default; sensitive writes stay off until you opt in.
Free includes up to 217 tools; EMCP Pro expands the catalog to up to 509, including additional integrations and AI workflows. Your installed plugins and enabled modules determine which tools appear. Optional hosted services have their own EMCP Cloud plans and limits.
