Clients 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 →Clients
WriteAdds the The Plus "Clients" widget (tp-clients-listout) to an Elementor container.
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_callback tpae_mcp_add_theplus_clients_listout_ability() reads the target post's Elementor page data, builds a widget element of type tp-clients-listout from the mapped input settings (layout, content source, client name/link/logo, manual client list, post query filters, column counts, title display, loading options, and styling/animation controls), inserts it into the specified parent container at the requested position, and saves the updated Elementor data back to the post. It requires Elementor to be active and the tp-clients-listout widget to be registered, and requires non-empty post_id and parent_id, with the target post existing.
