List Elementor Templates is a WordPress ability from Premium Addons for Elementor — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →List Elementor Templates
Read-onlyList saved Elementor templates from the template library, newest first.
Requires the Premium Addons for Elementor plugin on WordPress 7.0+ for the Abilities API (abilities are registered only when the wp_register_ability() function exists). Dashboard, settings and site-inventory abilities (get-id-by-title, list-pages, list-templates, get-global-settings, get-settings, update-setting, scan-usage, disable-unused-widgets, clear-dynamic-assets, subscribe-newsletter) require the caller hold the 'manage_options' capability. premium-addons/create-page requires 'edit_pages'. premium-addons/get-widget-schema, premium-addons/get-addon-schema, premium-addons/list-available-elements, premium-addons/list-pa-addons, premium-addons/detect-atomic-support, premium-addons/check-elementor-element and premium-addons/create-elementor-template require 'edit_posts'. premium-addons/get-page-structure, premium-addons/get-element-settings, premium-addons/add-flexbox, premium-addons/add-container, premium-addons/update-element-settings, premium-addons/insert-widget, premium-addons/remove-element, premium-addons/change-post-status and premium-addons/duplicate-post require 'edit_post' on the target post_id, and deny requests for a nonexistent post_id outright.
What it does
This ability lists saved Elementor templates from the elementor_library template store, newest first and capped at 100 results, with the type of each template read from its _elementor_template_type meta. You can optionally restrict results to a single template_type such as page, section or container; omit it to see every type. It queries WP_Query directly rather than reusing Premium Addons' own AJAX list helper, since that helper is AJAX-coupled and excludes some template types. This is useful for an AI assistant to see what reusable templates already exist before proposing to build something new.
