# 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. Across all three, the work is always about how people make sense of things, and what tools actually help them think.

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.
