# DexPaprika MCP Server

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/coinpaprika/dexpaprika)](https://smithery.ai/servers/coinpaprika/dexpaprika)

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

```bash
# 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](#installation) | [Configuration](#claude-desktop-integration) | [API Reference](https://docs.dexpaprika.com/introduction)

> **Prefer zero setup?** Use the hosted MCP server at [mcp.dexpaprika.com](https://mcp.dexpaprika.com): no installation, no key to start, the same data tools plus `submitFeedback`. See [Hosted server](#hosted-server-no-installation) for transport endpoints.

## Latest release

See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for release notes and migration guides.

## 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](https://smithery.ai/servers/coinpaprika/dexpaprika):

```bash
npx -y smithery mcp add coinpaprika/dexpaprika
```

### Manual Installation
```bash
# 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:

[![DexPaprika MCP Tutorial](https://img.youtube.com/vi/rIxFn2PhtvI/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIxFn2PhtvI)

## 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`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dexpaprika": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["dexpaprika-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

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

### Hosted server (no installation)

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

| Transport | Endpoint | Use Case |
|-----------|----------|----------|
| Streamable HTTP | `https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/streamable-http` | Recommended for most clients |
| SSE | `https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/sse` | Legacy SSE transport |
| JSON-RPC | `https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/json-rpc` | Direct JSON-RPC |

> **Note**: These are MCP protocol endpoints. They won't display anything in a browser. Visit [mcp.dexpaprika.com](https://mcp.dexpaprika.com) for the landing page.

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

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"
  ]
});
```

## Sample Prompts for Claude

- "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."
- "Search for all pools containing the ARB token and rank them by volume."
- "Filter Ethereum pools with >$100K 24h volume created in the last week."
- "First get all available networks, then show me the top pools on each major network."

## Rate Limits & Performance

- **Free tier**: 200,000 credits per month keyless per IP, 500,000 with a free API key, at 30 requests per minute. Pro is $99/month for 5,000,000 credits at 300 requests per minute. One request costs one credit; batch endpoints cost one credit per item. Current figures: https://dexpaprika.com/pricing
- **Data delay**: up to 15 seconds on the free tier, real-time on Pro
- **Response Time**: 100-500ms for most endpoints (network dependent)
- **Error Handling**: Structured errors with codes, suggestions, and retry guidance
- **OHLCV Data Availability**: Historical data typically available from token/pool creation date

## Troubleshooting

**Common Issues:**

- **Rate limiting**: If receiving `DP429_RATE_LIMIT` errors, implement exponential backoff
- **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
- **Empty OHLCV**: Pool may be too new. Use `getPoolTransactions` instead
