coinpaprika/dexpaprika-mcp

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
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:
Manual Installation
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
Watch our step-by-step tutorial on setting up and using the DexPaprika MCP server:
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
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.
**The key goes in on its own, as the entire Authorization value.** Paste it
exactly as issued, with nothing in front of it. Almost every other API wants
something in front of the key, so this is the single most common reason a
working key looks broken.
Two things worth knowing:
- **A key we cannot read does not produce an error.** The data endpoints ignore
an unreadable key and serve you as an anonymous caller, with a normal 200 and
real data, so a typo looks exactly like success. Ask the assistant to run
getKeyStatus after setting one: it reports which plan the API actually sees
and names the likely cause when the key is not landing.
- **Dev and Pro customers** additionally set DEXPAPRIKA_API_BASE_URL to
https://api-pro.dexpaprika.com, which is also what getTokenOHLCV needs. The host does not change automatically,
because sending a free key to that host returns 403.
Hosted server (no installation)
If you prefer zero setup, point any MCP-compatible client directly at the hosted server at mcp.dexpaprika.com. The landing page provides setup instructions and documentation. The following transport endpoints are available:
