create_page
Creates a new page in WordPress with Elementor data, it will return the created page ID.
LABSCO SUMMARY
Layout stops being something only the canvas can change.
Because get and update both carry _elementor_data, a page can come down to a file, be edited as JSON, and go back up — which is what turns a repetitive layout change across pages into a loop instead of an afternoon. The update calls answer with a boolean rather than the resulting page, so confirming what actually landed is a second read.
What it is
Seven tools over WordPress pages that carry the _elementor_data meta field alongside title, content and status, so the layout travels with the page.
What you get
- A page created with its Elementor data and status, returning the new page ID
- A page retrieved by ID including the _elementor_data meta field
- That same page written to a file on disk, optionally the Elementor data alone
- An update applied from arguments, or from files holding the content and the Elementor data separately
- A page deleted, with force available to skip the trash
- A page ID looked up from its slug, for when the URL is all you have
Requirements
A WordPress site running Elementor and an application password for a user who may edit pages: WP_URL, WP_APP_USER and WP_APP_PASSWORD.
Setup effort
One command plus credentials — npx -y elementor-mcp, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Editing a live page's layout as a file
Download the page, including its Elementor data, edit the JSON on disk with whatever you like, and push it back. The same change can then be repeated across pages without touching the canvas.
02
Publishing a page from a layout you already have
Create the page with its Elementor data and status in one call; the new page ID comes back so the next step has something to address.
03
Finding a page you only know by its URL
Resolve the slug to an ID first, then read or update it. Without this the page ID is something you go and look up in the admin.
