DexPaprika MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides on-demand access to DexPaprika's cryptocurrency and DEX data API. Built specifically for AI assistants like Claude to programmatically fetch real-time token, pool, and DEX data with zero configuration.

TL;DR

# Install globally npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp # Start the server dexpaprika-mcp # Or run directly without installation npx dexpaprika-mcp

DexPaprika MCP connects Claude to live DEX data across multiple blockchains. No API keys required. Installation | Configuration | API Reference

What Can You Build?

Token Analysis Tools: Track price movements, liquidity depth changes, and volume patterns
DEX Comparisons: Analyze fee structures, volume, and available pools across different DEXes
Liquidity Pool Analytics: Monitor TVL changes, impermanent loss calculations, and price impact assessments
Market Analysis: Cross-chain token comparisons, volume trends, and trading activity metrics
Portfolio Trackers: Real-time value tracking, historical performance analysis, yield opportunities
Technical Analysis: Perform advanced technical analysis using historical OHLCV data, including trend identification, pattern recognition, and indicator calculations

Installation

Installing via Smithery

Claude Desktop Integration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "dexpaprika": { "command": "npx", "args": ["dexpaprika-mcp"] } } }

After restarting Claude Desktop, the DexPaprika tools will be available to Claude automatically.

Technical Capabilities

The MCP server exposes these specific endpoints Claude can access:

Network Operations

Function	Description	Example
`getNetworks`	Retrieves all supported blockchain networks and metadata	`{"id": "ethereum", "name": "Ethereum", "symbol": "ETH", ...}`
`getNetworkDexes`	Lists DEXes available on a specific network	`{"dexes": [{"id": "uniswap_v3", "name": "Uniswap V3", ...}]}`

Pool Operations

Function	Description	Required Parameters	Example Usage
`getTopPools`	Gets top liquidity pools across all networks	`limit` , `orderBy`	Fetch top 10 pools by 24h volume
`getNetworkPools`	Gets top pools on a specific network	`network` , `limit`	Get Solana's highest liquidity pools
`getDexPools`	Gets top pools for a specific DEX	`network` , `dex`	List pools on Uniswap V3
`getPoolDetails`	Gets detailed pool metrics	`network` , `poolAddress`	Complete metrics for USDC/ETH pool
`getPoolOHLCV`	Retrieves time-series price data for various analytical purposes (technical analysis, ML models, backtesting)	`network` , `poolAddress` , `start` , `interval`	7-day hourly candles for SOL/USDC
`getPoolTransactions`	Lists recent transactions in a pool	`network` , `poolAddress`	Last 20 swaps in a specific pool

Token Operations

Function	Description	Required Parameters	Output Fields
`getTokenDetails`	Gets comprehensive token data	`network` , `tokenAddress`	`price_usd` , `volume_24h` , `liquidity_usd` , etc.
`getTokenPools`	Lists pools containing a token	`network` , `tokenAddress`	Returns all pools with liquidity metrics
`search`	Finds tokens, pools, DEXes by name/id	`query`	Multi-entity search results

Example Usage

// With Claude, get details about a specific token: const solanaJupToken = await getTokenDetails({ network: "solana", tokenAddress: "JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN" }); // Find all pools for a specific token with volume sorting: const jupiterPools = await getTokenPools({ network: "solana", tokenAddress: "JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN", orderBy: "volume_usd", limit: 5 }); // Get historical price data for various analytical purposes (technical analysis, ML models, backtesting): const ohlcvData = await getPoolOHLCV({ network: "ethereum", poolAddress: "0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640", // ETH/USDC on Uniswap V3 start: "2023-01-01", interval: "1d", limit: 30 });

Sample Prompts for Claude

When working with Claude, try these specific technical queries:

"Analyze the JUP token on Solana. Fetch price, volume, and top liquidity pools."
"Compare trading volume between Uniswap V3 and SushiSwap on Ethereum."
"Get the 7-day OHLCV data for SOL/USDC on Raydium and plot a price chart."
"Find the top 5 pools by liquidity on Fantom network and analyze their fee structures."
"Get recent transactions for the ETH/USDT pool on Uniswap and analyze buy vs sell pressure."
"Which tokens have seen >10% price increases in the last 24h on Binance Smart Chain?"
"Search for all pools containing the ARB token and rank them by volume."
"Retrieve OHLCV data for BTC/USDT to analyze volatility patterns and build a price prediction model."

Rate Limits & Performance

Free Tier Limits: 60 requests per minute
Response Time: 100-500ms for most endpoints (network dependent)
Data Freshness: Pool and token data updated every 15-30s
Error Handling: 429 status codes indicate rate limiting
OHLCV Data Availability: Historical data typically available from token/pool creation date

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

Rate limiting: If receiving 429 errors, reduce request frequency
Missing data: Some newer tokens/pools may have incomplete historical data
Timeout errors: Large data requests may take longer, consider pagination
Network errors: Check network connectivity, the service requires internet access
OHLCV limitations: Maximum range between start and end dates is 1 year; use pagination for longer timeframes
