DexPaprika MCP Server
Official
Real-time multi-chain DEX and on-chain data via MCP
GitHub source repository ↗
70FMRS · B
A well-maintained multi-chain DEX data MCP server with 16 read-only tools (hosted adds submitFeedback), keyless free tier, and thorough docs and examples. Great for DeFi analytics; not suitable for on-chain writes or strict real-time needs.
DexPaprika MCP Server, maintained by CoinPaprika, provides on-demand access to DexPaprika's crypto and DEX data API covering token prices, liquidity pools, trading volume, OHLCV history, and transactions across 36 blockchain networks. It runs locally over stdio via npm, or use the official hosted endpoint (streamable-http / sse / -rpc). The free tier requires no API key to start.

Setup
Install with npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp, then run dexpaprika-mcp; or run directly with npx dexpaprika-mcp@latest. Alternatively install via Smithery: npx -y smithery mcp add coinpaprika/dexpaprika. Zero-setup option: point an MCP client at https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/streamable-http (hosted endpoint). Add a dexpaprika entry to your Claude Desktop config file and restart.

Fit and risk
Not for
- Scenarios needing on-chain writes, trade execution, or private-key management
- CEX market data needs (this server focuses on DEX/on-chain data)
- Users requiring truly real-time data on a free budget (free tier delays up to 15 seconds)
Required permissions
- Requires internet access to call the DexPaprika API
- Node.js/npm for local stdio installation
- No API key needed for the free tier (a free key raises quota)
Risks and side effects
- Free-tier rate limits (200,000 credits/month per IP, 30 requests/minute) can trigger DP429_RATE_LIMIT errors
- Free tier data delayed up to 15 seconds; not for truly real-time use
- Some newer tokens/pools may have incomplete historical data
- Price and on-chain data are informational only, not investment advice
Troubleshooting
- On DP429_RATE_LIMIT errors, implement exponential backoff
- OHLCV max range between start and end dates is 1 year; paginate for longer timeframes
- Empty OHLCV may mean the pool is too new; use getPoolTransactions instead
- Large data requests may time out; use pagination
- The server is a stdio process launched by an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code), not a browser URL
Use cases
Track token price movements, liquidity depth changes, and volume patterns
Compare fee structures, volume, and pools across DEXes
Monitor TVL changes and assess price impact
Perform technical analysis with historical OHLCV data
Build portfolio trackers and yield analysis tools
