> Connect your ER:LC private server, view its live info and manage your linked servers.

## What is Server Configuration?

Server Configuration is where you connect your ER:LC private server to Melonly with an API key. Once linked, it shows live server info and lets you switch between linked servers.

***

## How to Connect Your Server

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get Your API Key">
    Join your ER:LC private server and open **Private Server Settings → ER:LC API**. Copy your unique API key.

## Server Information

Once linked, this section shows your server name, current player count and join code. It also shows your [Events Webhook](/Dashboard/erlcintegration/webhook/eventwebhook) status.

| Action | Description |
| - | - |
| Run Command | Run an ER:LC command from the dashboard, just like in the [Mod Panel](/Modpanel/erlc/home) |
| Join Server | Join your private server directly with a unique link, without joining a public server first |
| View Staff | Shows all staff members currently in game |

If PRC has banned your API key, the dashboard shows an **API Key Invalid** alert. Contact PRC support for help.

***

## Managing Your Linked Servers

Click **Set Active** on a linked server to make it the one your dashboard and the Mod Panel use. Click the red **X** to remove a key from your server.

Free servers can link up to 2 ER:LC servers, and [Melonly Plus](https://melonly.xyz/plus) raises this to 100. API keys must be at least 15 characters and contain a dash.

<Warning>
  ER:LC settings are saved per API key. Switching to another linked server replaces the ER:LC settings on your dashboard with that server's settings.
</Warning>
