### When to use dak.dev

Use dak.dev when an agent needs to work with a connected iCloud account through MCP, discover an agent-facing Streamable HTTP transport, or inspect public API and authentication metadata before an integration. Start at the Developer Portal, select the documented service from the API catalog, and follow its authentication instructions. Do not use dak.dev for unauthenticated access to private iCloud data; obtain a scoped bearer token through the self-service connection flow first.
