DexPaprika MCP Server: Real-Time DEX and Crypto Data for AI Agents

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 (tool contract v ) 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, as the entire `Authorization` value. Paste it exactly as issued, with nothing in front of it. Almost every other API wants something in front of the key, 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.
• Dev and Pro customers additionally set DEXPAPRIKA_API_BASE_URL to https://api-pro.dexpaprika.com, which is also what getTokenOHLCV needs. 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 (20)

This self-host build registers 20 read tools: 19 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). This first page works without // a key; passing the response's next_cursor back as cursor to fetch a later // page needs an API key (a free key pages without limit): const jupiterPools = await getTokenPools({ network: "solana", token_address: "JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN", order_by: "volume_usd_24h", limit: 5 });

// Get top pools on Ethereum (first page, 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: "-7d", // also Unix seconds, RFC3339 or YYYY-MM-DD sort_by: "volume_usd_24h", limit: 20 });

// Get historical price data for a pool: const ohlcvData = await getPoolOHLCV({ network: "ethereum", pool_address: "0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640", start: "-24h", // last 24 hours; works without a key interval: "1h", limit: 24 });

// Get historical USD price data for a token, volume-weighted across every // pool it trades in. Requires a Dev or Pro key in DEXPAPRIKA_API_KEY and // DEXPAPRIKA_API_BASE_URL=https://api-pro.dexpaprika.com; // on a keyless or free key this returns 403, so fall back to getPoolOHLCV // on the token's main pool (found with getTokenPools) instead. const tokenOhlcvData = await getTokenOHLCV({ network: "ethereum", token_address: "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2", start: "-24h", interval: "1h", limit: 24 });

// RSI for a pool, computed server-side (no need to fetch candles first). // Send only the parameters of the indicator you ask for: period for rsi, ema, // bbands and vwap; fast_period, slow_period and signal_period for macd; // std_dev for bbands. Any other parameter is refused with 400. const rsi = await getPoolIndicator({ network: "ethereum", pool_address: "0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640", indicator: "rsi", interval: "1h", start: "-24h" });

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