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 current 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@latest

DexPaprika MCP connects Claude to live DEX data across multiple blockchains. The free tier needs no API key to start. Installation | Configuration | API Reference

Prefer zero setup? Use the hosted MCP server at mcp.dexpaprika.com: no installation, no key to start, the same data tools plus submitFeedback. See Hosted server for transport endpoints.

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: Current 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 mcp add coinpaprika/dexpaprika

Manual Installation

# Install globally (recommended for regular use)
npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp

# Start the server
dexpaprika-mcp

This is a stdio server: it speaks MCP over stdin and stdout and binds no port. On start it writes DexPaprika MCP server v<version> (tool contract v<contract>) is running... to stderr and then waits for a client. Run it from an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code) rather than expecting a URL in a browser.

Video Tutorial

Watch our step-by-step tutorial on setting up and using the DexPaprika MCP server:

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@latest"]
    }
  }
}

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

Optional: using an API key

This works without a key and always will. No signup, no card, nothing to configure. Everything above is the supported way to run it.

A free key raises the monthly allowance and opens streaming on any token rather than the public showcase set. It does not raise the per-minute request limit, which is the same on both tiers. Get one at console.dexpaprika.com; current limits are on the rate limits page.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dexpaprika": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["dexpaprika-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DEXPAPRIKA_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

The key goes in on its own. There is no Bearer prefix, and no other scheme word either. Paste the key exactly as issued. Almost every other API wants the opposite, so this is the single most common reason a working key looks broken.

Two things worth knowing:

• A key we cannot read does not produce an error. The data endpoints ignore an unreadable key and serve you as an anonymous caller, with a normal 200 and real data, so a typo looks exactly like success. Ask the assistant to run getKeyStatus after setting one: it reports which plan the API actually sees and names the likely cause when the key is not landing.
• Pro customers additionally set DEXPAPRIKA_API_BASE_URL to https://api-pro.dexpaprika.com. The host does not change automatically, because sending a free key to that host returns 403.

Hosted server (no installation)

If you prefer zero setup, point any MCP-compatible client directly at the hosted server at mcp.dexpaprika.com. The landing page provides setup instructions and documentation. The following transport endpoints are available:

Note: These are MCP protocol endpoints. They won't display anything in a browser. Visit mcp.dexpaprika.com for the landing page.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dexpaprika": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Available Tools (17)

This self-host build registers 17 read tools: 16 market-data tools plus getKeyStatus. The hosted server at mcp.dexpaprika.com registers its own set including submitFeedback. Verify either with a live tools/list.

Example Usage

// Start by getting capabilities for workflow guidance:
const caps = await getCapabilities();

// Get details about a specific token:
const solanaJupToken = await getTokenDetails({
  network: "solana",
  token_address: "JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN"
});

// Find pools containing a token (returns `results` with cursor pagination;
// the token filter only works network-scoped):
const jupiterPools = await getTokenPools({
  network: "solana",
  token_address: "JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN",
  order_by: "volume_usd_24h",
  limit: 5
});

// Get top pools on Ethereum (returns `results` with cursor pagination):
const ethereumPools = await getNetworkPools({
  network: "ethereum",
  order_by: "volume_usd_24h",
  limit: 10
});

// Filter pools by volume and creation time:
const filteredPools = await getNetworkPoolsFilter({
  network: "ethereum",
  volume_24h_min: 100000,
  created_after: 1710806400,
  sort_by: "volume_usd_24h",
  limit: 20
});

// Get historical price data:
const ohlcvData = await getPoolOHLCV({
  network: "ethereum",
  pool_address: "0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640",
  start: "2023-01-01",
  interval: "24h",
  limit: 30
});

// Batch prices for multiple tokens (max 10):
const prices = await getTokenMultiPrices({
  network: "ethereum",
  tokens: [
    "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2",
    "0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7"
  ]
});
