## What it does

This tool connects across streamable HTTP at `https://idevice.com/api/mcp`. It does not sell products. You do not need an account, login credentials, or a token. The backend acts strictly as an information resource: it never submits purchases, books reservations, or alters external records.

Built-in functions handle hardware comparisons, purchasing timing advice, and compatibility checks. Operations like `should_i_buy` or `compare_products` help evaluate purchase decisions, whereas `get_compatibility` checks accessory support. Most detail lookups require an item identifier, retrieved beforehand via `list_products`.

Traffic caps restrict usage to 30 requests per minute and 500 per day per IP. Exceeding those boundaries triggers HTTP 429 status codes, meaning tight loop automations will fail. Output lists return at most 20 entries at a time.
