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

🚨 Version 1.1.0 Update Notice

Breaking Change: The global /pools endpoint has been removed. If you're upgrading from v1.0.x, please see the Migration Guide below.

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

To install DexPaprika for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @coinpaprika/dexpaprika-mcp --client claude

Manual Installation

# Install globally (recommended for regular use) npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp # Verify installation dexpaprika-mcp --version # Start the server dexpaprika-mcp

The server runs on port 8010 by default. You'll see MCP server is running at http://localhost:8010 when successfully started.

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.

Migration from v1.0.x to v1.1.0

⚠️ Breaking Changes

The global getTopPools function has been removed due to API deprecation.

Migration Steps

Before (v1.0.x):

// This will no longer work getTopPools({ page: 0, limit: 10, sort: 'desc', orderBy: 'volume_usd' })

After (v1.1.0):

// Use network-specific queries instead getNetworkPools({ network: 'ethereum', page: 0, limit: 10, sort: 'desc', orderBy: 'volume_usd' }) getNetworkPools({ network: 'solana', page: 0, limit: 10, sort: 'desc', orderBy: 'volume_usd' }) // To query multiple networks, call getNetworkPools for each network // Or use the search function for cross-network searches

Benefits of the New Approach

  • Better Performance: Network-specific queries are faster and more efficient

  • More Relevant Results: Get pools that are actually relevant to your use case

  • Improved Scalability: Better suited for handling large amounts of data across networks

Technical Capabilities

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 top pools on Ethereum (v1.1.0 approach): const ethereumPools = await getNetworkPools({ network: "ethereum", orderBy: "volume_usd", limit: 10 }); // 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 (updated for v1.1.0):

  • "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."

  • "Show me the top 10 pools on Ethereum by 24h volume using getNetworkPools."

  • "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."

  • "First get all available networks, then show me the top pools on each major network."

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

Migration Issues:

  • "getTopPools not found": This function has been removed. Use getNetworkPools instead with a specific network parameter

  • "410 Gone" errors: You're using a deprecated endpoint. Check the error message for guidance on the correct endpoint to use
