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 searchesBenefits 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

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
getNetworkPoolsinstead 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

Scored across 11 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap. For example, getNetworkPools retrieves top pools on a network, while getDexPools targets pools from a specific DEX, and getPoolDetails provides detailed information for a single pool. The descriptions explicitly guide usage, preventing confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get' as the prefix (e.g., getNetworks, getPoolDetails, getTokenPools). The naming is uniform and predictable, making it easy for agents to understand the action and target resource.
With 11 tools, the server is well-scoped for its domain of blockchain DEX data analysis. Each tool serves a specific function, from network discovery to pool and token details, without redundancy. The count supports comprehensive coverage without being overwhelming.
The tool set provides complete coverage for exploring DEX data, including network discovery, DEX and pool listings, detailed views, historical data, transactions, and search. There are no obvious gaps; agents can navigate from high-level stats to granular details seamlessly.
