DexPaprika MCP server

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.

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

Claude Desktop Integration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.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.
