AI Abilities is a Premium Addons for Elementor feature that connects AI clients such as Claude, Cursor, and Codex to your WordPress site through a built-in MCP server. Each ability is one action the connected AI can perform on your site. This doc covers one of the Dashboard abilities: Get Premium Addons Settings.
Get Premium Addons Settings lets your AI client read the full Premium Addons configuration in one call: every widget, addon, and feature toggle with its on/off state, the integration settings (like map keys), and the white-label settings when Premium Addons Pro is active.
It is the read half of dashboard management. The AI calls it to learn the exact setting keys and current values before changing anything with premium-addons/update-setting.

Before You Start
This ability is part of the AI Abilities feature. If you have not set it up yet, follow the Elementor AI Abilities (MCP Tools) Tutorial first to enable the feature and connect your AI client. The ability must also be switched on under Premium Addons → AI Abilities & MCP Config, in the Dashboard category:
Use Cases
Audit your plugin configuration. Ask your AI client “Which Premium Addons widgets and features are enabled on my site right now?” The AI reads the toggles and gives you the full picture, including features you forgot were on.
Check before building. Before a build session, the AI confirms the widgets it plans to use are actually enabled, so an insert never fails halfway through because a widget was switched off.
Prepare a cleanup. Prompt “Compare my enabled widgets against what I actually use and tell me what to turn off.” The AI combines this ability with premium-addons/scan-usage and hands you a shortlist before touching anything.
Good to Know
- This ability is read-only. It never changes a setting, which makes it safe to leave enabled even on a locked-down configuration.
- The white-label group comes back empty unless Premium Addons Pro is active.
- The keys it returns are the same keys
premium-addons/update-settingaccepts, so a read here is the reliable first step of any settings change. - Dashboard abilities require an administrator: the connected WordPress user must be able to manage options.
Inputs
This ability takes no inputs. Call it and it returns the full settings snapshot.
