# \ud83e\udd96 Rusty Smart \u2013 Pterodactyl Provider
\n> Use the Pterodactyl Panel API to dynamically scale your minecraft network! Requires Rusty Connector & Smart<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

## \ud83c\udf0d What Is a Provider?
\nIn Rusty Smart, a **Provider** is an adapter that connects the Smart module to a specific infrastructure system.
\nProviders are what make Smart *cloud-agnostic* \u2014 they translate Smart\u2019s scaling logic into actions your platform understands (create, delete, or monitor servers).<\/p>\n

The **Pterodactyl Provider** adds support for the **Pterodactyl Panel**, allowing Smart to create and delete Minecraft servers directly through its API.
\nIt requires **admin API access** to manage servers automatically.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \u2699\ufe0f Compatibility
\nThis provider works with:
\n– **Pterodactyl Panel v1.0+** (admin API key required)
\n– **Any Egg** configured on your Pterodactyl instance
\n– **RustyConnector** and **Rusty Smart Module**<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83e\uddf1 Installation
\n1. Place the `.jar` file inside the `rc-modules` folder of your Minecraft Proxy.
\n2. Restart your RustyConnector kernel.
\n3. Configure your Pterodactyl credentials in the config file.
\n4. Smart will start managing your servers dynamically.<\/p>\n
