### Log in to Feudal.Tools and add your server

On Feudal.Tools add a new server and ensure to copy over the details without trailing spaces.\
All the details you need for feudal.tools will be displayed on the console when running in maintenance mode

See this video for reference:<br>

Whenever Feudal.Tools is telling you to turn off the server, turn on maintenance mode and restart your server instead.\
Feudal.Tools requires database access, the only way your database is running without your game server is when maintenance mode is turned **ON**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Turn off maintenance mode

Turning maintenance mode off is simply doing step 1 in reverse.\
Go to "startup" in the left most menu and scroll down until you find maintenance.\
Toggle maintenance off and restart your server
