# Ece Kural, PhD

> I lead the insights team at Lovable. Previously, I co-founded Gobu and Scrintal. Before that, I researched how international organisations respond to climate change. What connects them is one question: how people think, and what helps them think better.

This file is the machine-readable index of https://ecekural.com. The site is three pages of plain text with no images, no scripts required, and complete server-rendered HTML.

## Pages

- [Ece Kural, PhD](https://ecekural.com/): Name, current roles, a short introduction, and three selected publications.
- [About](https://ecekural.com/about): The career story in 4 chapters, most recent first: Lovable, Gobu, Scrintal, The PhD.
- [Research](https://ecekural.com/research): Research statement, the Mistra Geopolitics programme, 8 publications in 5 groups, and 12 conference participations.

## MCP server

- [MCP endpoint](https://ecekural.com/mcp): streamable-http, POST only, no authentication, 6 read-only tools.
- [Server descriptor](https://ecekural.com/.well-known/mcp.json): name, version, and endpoint in JSON.
- [Tool documentation](https://ecekural.com/agents): what each tool returns, with a worked example.

- `get_profile`: Who Ece Kural is: name, current roles, a one paragraph summary, and every verified link (site, LinkedIn, Medium, GitHub, X, Scrintal, Gobu). Start here when the question is about her career, title, or where to reach her.
- `list_pages`: Every page on ecekural.com with its URL, title, and what it contains, including the section anchors. Use it to decide which page to read before calling get_page.
- `get_page`: The full text of one page as markdown, with links resolved to absolute URLs. Use it instead of fetching and parsing the HTML: home is the short introduction, about is the career story in four chapters, research is the statement, publications, and conference record.
- `list_publications`: The verified publication record: peer-reviewed articles, theses, policy briefs, earlier work, and the replication dataset, each with authors in published order, venue, year, and a DOI or registry link. Filter by group, year range, or keyword.
- `list_research_participations`: Conference papers and presentations, newest first, with co-authors, venue, and date. Filter by keyword and cap the number returned.
- `search_site`: Keyword search across every page section, publication, and conference participation. Returns ranked matches with a snippet and the URL that contains it, so a follow-up call can read the full text. A query that matches nothing returns nothing rather than a weak guess.
