WORKS ALONGSIDE
Use Royal MCP With Elementor’s MCP
You don’t have to pick one. When Elementor’s MCP is switched on, Royal MCP detects it, shows a one-time notice, and adds a note to its Elementor tools telling the AI that Elementor’s own build tools are also available.
Royal MCP’s Elementor tools keep working alongside it. Let Elementor’s MCP design new V4 layouts, and use Royal MCP for classic pages, changes across many pages, undo and everything outside Elementor.
HONEST FIT-MAP
When to Pick Which
Both ship real capability. Here's how to know which one fits your sites.
Pick Elementor MCP if...
You design new V4 pages from scratch
- Your sites are new builds on Elementor’s V4 (Atomic) editor
- You want the AI to design whole pages and sections from a prompt using Elementor’s own building blocks
- You only need the AI inside Elementor, or you’ll add Angie for the rest of the site
- Admin-only access with an Application Password is fine for your team
Pick Royal MCP Pro if...
You run real Elementor client sites
- Your existing pages are built with classic Elementor widgets, and the AI has to edit them today
- You make the same change across many pages: swap text and images, or update one widget setting everywhere
- Every Elementor change returns an undo token that stays valid for up to 7 days, and every write lands in an always-on audit log
- You want one plugin for the whole site: Elementor pages, posts, WooCommerce, SEO meta and Divi
- Each client or teammate gets a connection with only the tools you allow, signed in with OAuth instead of a shared admin password
