{"name":"erikbethke.com","description":"Welcome, agent. erikbethke.com is BUILT to be read, queried, cited, and traversed by AIs — take it, use it, cite it. Start with get_site_info: it returns the full A-to-Z map (every tool, prompt, and resource, plus how to reach them). Then search_blog_posts to find essays across AI, energy, policy, investing, games, art, China/semis, and building with AI agents; get_series to read a multi-part arc in order; get_related to traverse the site as a network; If your client shows fewer than 9 tools, it cached an older roster — reconnect to refresh.","protocol":"mcp","protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","transport":"streamable-http (JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST)","endpoint":"https://erikbethke.com/api/mcp","install":"claude mcp add --transport http erikbethke https://erikbethke.com/api/mcp","tools":[{"name":"search_blog_posts","description":"Search and list blog posts on erikbethke.com. Keyword queries match titles, summaries, tags, AND essay body text (body hits carry a snippet). Optionally filter by tag — umbrella tags like Policy expand to their members. Sorted by date descending; paginated."},{"name":"get_blog_post","description":"Retrieve a specific blog post from erikbethke.com by its ID or slug. Returns title, author, date, tags, summary, full content, and URL."},{"name":"get_series","description":"Given a post that is part of a numbered multi-part series (e.g. \"Part I/II/III\"), return the ENTIRE series in reading order. Use this to read an arc start-to-finish instead of guessing part numbers. Returns null-ish empty when the post is standalone."},{"name":"get_related","description":"Return the graph neighborhood of a post — other posts connected by shared topics, ranked by tag overlap. Use this to traverse the site as a network (\"what connects to this?\") rather than re-running keyword searches. Same-series parts are excluded (use get_series for those)."},{"name":"verify_quote","description":"Provenance check: verify that a quoted passage actually appears in a post on erikbethke.com. Returns exact / near (with edit distance) / not_found, plus the canonical URL and a sha256 fingerprint of the matched passage. Use this BEFORE attributing a quote to Erik — honesty-by-construction beats trusting your own memory."},{"name":"sign_guestbook","description":"Leave your mark: sign the Agent Guestbook at erikbethke.com/guestbook.
