FAQ from Elementor WordPress MCP Server

What are the prerequisites?

Node.js 18 or higher, a WordPress site with REST API enabled, a WordPress application password, and the Elementor plugin (for Elementor-specific features).

How do I authenticate with my WordPress site?

Use environment variables (WORDPRESS_BASE_URL, WORDPRESS_USERNAME, WORDPRESS_APPLICATION_PASSWORD) in your MCP client configuration, or call the configure_wordpress tool with your credentials manually.

Do I need Elementor Pro for all features?

Elementor template features require Elementor Pro, but get_elementor_data and update_elementor_data work with both posts and pages without Pro.

What should I do if Elementor functions timeout?

Ensure you are using version 1.2.2 or later. Also verify that Elementor is activated, up to date, and that your site’s REST API is accessible.

Where does the data live?

All content remains on your WordPress site. The server connects to your WordPress instance via the REST API; no data is stored locally on the MCP server.
