DexPaprika MCP Server
by
Provides on-demand access to real-time and historical cryptocurrency, DEX, token, and liquidity data across multiple blockchains via a Model Context Protocol server, enabling AI assistants to query market trends and analytics through natural language.
DexPaprika MCP Server Overview
What is DexPaprika MCP Server about?
Provides a standardized MCP interface for retrieving live and historical data on crypto tokens, decentralized exchanges, pools, and market activity across several blockchains. The server is designed for AI assistants (e.g., Claude) to fetch price, volume, liquidity, OHLCV, and transaction information without writing custom API calls.
How to use DexPaprika MCP Server?
- Installation – run
npm install -g dexpaprika-mcpor, preferred for one‑off usage,npx dexpaprika-mcp. - Start the server – simply execute
dexpaprika-mcp(ornpx dexpaprika-mcp). The server listens onhttp://localhost:8010by default. - Claude Desktop integration – add the following entry to the Claude configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dexpaprika": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["dexpaprika-mcp"]
}
}
}
- Invoke functions – use MCP‑exposed functions such as
getNetworkPools,getTokenDetails,getPoolOHLCV, etc., either from Claude prompts or directly via HTTP requests.
Key features of DexPaprika MCP Server
- Network‑specific pool queries (
getNetworkPools) – fast, scalable, and replace the removed global/poolsendpoint. - Detailed pool metrics (
getPoolDetails,getPoolOHLCV,getPoolTransactions). - Token analytics (
getTokenDetails,getTokenPools). - DEX and network discovery (
getNetworks,getNetworkDexes). - Search across tokens, pools, and DEXes (
search). - No API key required – free tier allows 60 requests/minute with sub‑second response times.
- Built‑in rate‑limit handling – 429 responses indicate throttling.
- Cross‑chain support – Ethereum, Solana, Fantom, and more.
Use cases of DexPaprika MCP Server
- Automated token analysis tools – track price, volume, and liquidity changes in real time.
- DEX comparison dashboards – evaluate fee structures, pool depth, and trading volume across Uniswap, SushiSwap, Raydium, etc.
- Liquidity pool monitoring – TVL alerts, impermanent loss calculations, and price‑impact assessments.
- Portfolio trackers – aggregate token values from multiple networks for a unified view.
- Technical analysis pipelines – fetch OHLCV data for back‑testing strategies or feeding ML models.
- Natural‑language market research – ask Claude questions like “Show top 10 pools on Ethereum by 24h volume” without writing code.
FAQ from the DexPaprika MCP Server
Q: Do I need an API key? A: No. The server uses the public DexPaprika API and works out‑of‑the‑box.
Q: What happened to the /pools endpoint?
A: It was removed in v1.1.0. Use getNetworkPools with a specific network parameter instead.
Q: How can I query multiple networks at once?
A: Call getNetworkPools separately for each network or use the search function for cross‑network searches.
Q: What are the rate limits? A: Free tier limits are 60 requests per minute. Exceeding this returns HTTP 429.
Q: How far back does OHLCV data go? A: Data is available from the creation date of the token/pool, with a maximum query range of 1 year per request.
Q: Can I run the server on a custom port?
A: Yes. Set the PORT environment variable before starting the server (e.g., PORT=9000 npx dexpaprika-mcp).

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.
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 searches
Benefits 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

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
