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

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.

Technical Capabilities

The MCP server exposes these specific endpoints Claude can access:

Network Operations

| Function | Description | Example | |----------|-------------|---------| | getNetworks | Retrieves all supported blockchain networks and metadata | {"id": "ethereum", "name": "Ethereum", "symbol": "ETH", ...} | | getNetworkDexes | Lists DEXes available on a specific network | {"dexes": [{"id": "uniswap_v3", "name": "Uniswap V3", ...}]} |

Pool Operations

| Function | Description | Required Parameters | Example Usage | |----------|-------------|---------------------|--------------| | getTopPools | Gets top liquidity pools across all networks | limit, orderBy | Fetch top 10 pools by 24h volume | | getNetworkPools | Gets top pools on a specific network | network, limit | Get Solana's highest liquidity pools | | getDexPools | Gets top pools for a specific DEX | network, dex | List pools on Uniswap V3 | | getPoolDetails | Gets detailed pool metrics | network, poolAddress | Complete metrics for USDC/ETH pool | | getPoolOHLCV | Retrieves time-series price data for various analytical purposes (technical analysis, ML models, backtesting) | network, poolAddress, start, interval | 7-day hourly candles for SOL/USDC | | getPoolTransactions | Lists recent transactions in a pool | network, poolAddress | Last 20 swaps in a specific pool |

Token Operations

| Function | Description | Required Parameters | Output Fields | |----------|-------------|---------------------|--------------| | getTokenDetails | Gets comprehensive token data | network, tokenAddress | price_usd, volume_24h, liquidity_usd, etc. | | getTokenPools | Lists pools containing a token | network, tokenAddress | Returns all pools with liquidity metrics | | search | Finds tokens, pools, DEXes by name/id | query | Multi-entity search results |

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 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:

  • "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."
  • "Which tokens have seen >10% price increases in the last 24h on Binance Smart Chain?"
  • "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."

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
