List Elementor Widgets is a WordPress ability from The Plus Addons for Elementor — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →List Elementor Widgets
Read-onlyReturns all registered Elementor widget types with their names, titles, icons, categories, and keywords, optionally filtered by category.
Requires the The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin (which registers under the 'tpae' ability category) on WordPress 6.9+, with Elementor active. Every ability requires the current user to have the 'edit_posts' capability (and 'edit_post' for the specific post being modified); abilities that create or edit content also verify Elementor and, where relevant, the target The Plus widget are available. A subset of abilities (theme templates, template conditions, dynamic tags, popups, and some custom-code abilities) only register when Elementor Pro is active, and many widget abilities load only in the free plugin when the Pro add-on is inactive.
What it does
The execute_list_widgets callback reads all registered widgets via the data access layer's get_registered_widgets() method, optionally filters them by a given category slug (checking each widget's get_categories() output), and returns each matching widget's name, title, icon, categories, and keywords array.
