API key

Where to find your key in the dashboard, where to paste it, and what to do if it leaks.

3 min

The key ties your server to your licence. One key per server.

Finding the key

1
Open “Servers”
Servers in the dashboard.
2
Click your server
The licence card opens.
3
The “Connection” tab
Look for the “API key” block.
4
Copy it
The eye icon reveals it, “Copy” grabs the whole thing.

“Servers” → “Open” → “Connection” → show the key → “Copy”. “Reset key” is next to it. Demo account, fake key.

Where it goes

Open plugins/MLSAC/config.yml on the server (your host’s file manager or SFTP) and put the key into detection.api-key in place of your-api-key. Keep the quotes.

plugins/MLSAC/config.yml

language: "ru"
 
detection:
  # Get a key (or a free trial) at https://mlsac.net
  api-key: "PASTE-YOUR-KEY-HERE"
 
remote-config:
  # "" = the only preset on your account, "<name>" = that preset, "none" = built-in defaults
  preset: ""

Save the file and run mlsac reload in the console (/mlsac reload in game). No restart needed: a couple of seconds later the console shows Connected and Applying preset.

The rest of config.yml

Key	What for
`language`	The plugin’s message language: ru, en, uk, es, vi, zh, ar.
`remote-config.preset`	Which preset to load from the site; see Your first preset.
`server-identity.name`	What the server is called in alerts.
`server-identity.family`	For networks. Servers in the same family share alerts and actions when `interserver.enabled` is on.
`server-identity.reporting`	Whether alerts and punishments go to the dashboard, Discord and Telegram. `alert-threshold` sets the confidence they start at (0.80 by default).
`debug`	A verbose log for when support asks. Normally `false`.
`_schema-version`	Internal, leave it alone.

If the key leaks

Hit “Reset Key” on the same tab. The server with the old key drops off right away, so put the new key into config.yml and run mlsac reload. You can reset again after 6 hours. Only the licence owner can do this.
