Insert ElementsKit widget is a WordPress ability from ElementsKit Elementor Addons — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Insert ElementsKit widget
WriteInsert an ElementsKit widget into an Elementor document, either at the document root or inside a specific container.
Requires the ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin (elementskit-lite) with Elementor active, on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API (abilities are registered only when wp_register_ability() exists). Read-only listing abilities require 'edit_posts' (list-widgets, list-templates, list-library-templates), 'manage_options' (list-custom-widgets), or 'edit_theme_options' (list-mega-menus); write abilities that target a specific Elementor document (insert-widget, insert-template, import-library-template) require 'edit_posts' plus 'edit_post' on that document; template, header/footer, custom-widget, and mega-menu creation/configuration abilities require 'manage_options' (create-mega-menu additionally requires 'edit_theme_options'); create-page requires 'edit_pages' or 'edit_posts'.
What it does
Given a target post_id and a widget_type (validated against the ElementsKit prefix and the live Elementor widget registry), this ability builds a new Elementor element node with the supplied settings and appends it either to the document root (wrapped in a flex container when parent_id is 'document' or omitted) or to an existing container/section whose id matches parent_id. It returns the new element's id, the ids of any newly created root elements, a preview_url, and the document's current Elementor version after saving. It errors if the widget type is unknown or unregistered, or if the given parent_id can't be found in the document.
