Get Page is a WordPress ability from Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Page
Read-onlyRead a page's details plus a compact outline of its elements, or one specific element in full.
Requires the Pagelayer plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (or another source of wp_register_ability()) for the Abilities API — registration is skipped entirely via a function_exists() guard when it isn't available, and ability categories similarly require wp_register_ability_category(). Most abilities require the 'edit_posts' capability; update-global-styles, create-menu, and delete-menu require 'manage_options'. search-images additionally needs a Pexels API key configured on the Pagelayer AI Agents settings page, and get-library-sections/import-library-section call Pagelayer's own hosted library API. Four near-duplicate abilities (get-widget, get-widgets-summary, edit-layout, navigator) are registered in source with mcp_public:false — fully callable over the REST Abilities API but intentionally left out of the advertised MCP tool list as duplicates of get-widget-schema, list-widgets, update-page, and get-page respectively — and are excluded from this listing.
What it does
By default returns page metadata (title, status, url, edit_url) plus an indented text outline of every node on the page — one line per node showing its ref (pagelayer-id or an "@0.1.2" position path), tag, column width, and a text preview — which is enough to locate anything worth editing without pulling the whole layout tree, often tens of KB. Passing element_id returns just that one node in full; mode:"full" returns the entire raw pagelayer_data tree, intended only for a full-layout rewrite.

You ask your AI assistant
"Show me the outline of page 128 so I can find the hero heading to edit."
