Get Spacing Presets 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 Spacing Presets
Read-onlyRetrieve standardized spacing-scale presets for container widths, section padding, column gaps, border radiuses, and box shadows.
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
Returns fixed preset values for container_widths (boxed/wide/full), section_padding (compact/medium/spacious), column_gaps (narrow/normal/wide), border_radiuses (none through pill), and box_shadows (none/soft/medium/floating/glow) in Pagelayer's specific x,y,blur,color,spread,inset format, plus a box_shadow_format note warning that colors must be #rrggbbaa hex, never rgba(), because the renderer splits the value on commas.
