getNetworkPools
Retrieve top liquidity pools for a specific blockchain network to analyze trading volumes, prices, and transaction data for decentralized exchange operations.
Instructions
PRIMARY POOL FUNCTION: Get top liquidity pools on a specific network. This is the MAIN way to get pool data - there is NO global pools function. Use this instead of any "getTopPools" or "getAllPools" concepts.

Implementation Reference
- src/index.js:108-111 (handler)Handler function for the getNetworkPools tool. Fetches top liquidity pools data from the DexPaprika API for a specific network using provided parameters and formats the response for MCP.async ({ network, page, limit, sort, orderBy }) => { const data = await fetchFromAPI(`/networks/${network}/pools?page=${page}&limit=${limit}&sort=${sort}&order_by=${orderBy}`); return formatMcpResponse(data); }
- src/index.js:101-107 (schema)Input schema for getNetworkPools tool defined using Zod, including required network and optional pagination/sorting parameters.{ network: z.string().describe('Network ID from getNetworks (required) - e.g., "ethereum", "solana"'), page: z.number().optional().default(0).describe('Page number for pagination'), limit: z.number().optional().default(10).describe('Number of items per page (max 100)'), sort: z.enum(['asc', 'desc']).optional().default('desc').describe('Sort order'), orderBy: z.enum(['volume_usd', 'price_usd', 'transactions', 'last_price_change_usd_24h', 'created_at']).optional().default('volume_usd').describe('Field to order by') },

- src/index.js:10-34 (helper)Helper function used by getNetworkPools to fetch data from DexPaprika API, handles errors like rate limits and deprecated endpoints.async function fetchFromAPI(endpoint) { try { const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE_URL}${endpoint}`); if (!response.ok) { if (response.status === 410) { throw new Error( 'This endpoint has been permanently removed. Please use network-specific endpoints instead. ' + 'For example, use /networks/{network}/pools instead of /pools.

You have reached the maximum number of requests allowed for the free tier. ' + 'To increase your rate limits and access additional features, please consider upgrading to a paid plan at https://docs.dexpaprika.com/' ); } throw new Error(`API request failed with status ${response.status}`); } return await response.json(); } catch (error) { console.error(`Error fetching from API: ${error.message}`); throw error; } }
