Stop Wrestling with DEX APIs - Just Ask Claude

Building crypto analysis tools shouldn't require juggling multiple API keys, rate limits, and inconsistent data formats. DexPaprika MCP connects Claude directly to live DEX data across 15+ blockchains with a single npm install.

Skip the API Integration Headaches

Instead of spending days integrating different DEX APIs, configuring authentication, and handling rate limits, you get instant access to:

• Real-time token prices and volume across Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Arbitrum, and more
• Complete liquidity pool analytics - TVL, fee structures, impermanent loss calculations
• Historical OHLCV data for technical analysis and backtesting
• Cross-chain DEX comparisons - Uniswap vs SushiSwap vs Raydium volume and fees

No API keys. No rate limit juggling. Just ask Claude in natural language.

What You Can Build in Minutes

Token Analysis Dashboard

"Show me JUP token metrics on Solana - price, volume, and top 5 liquidity pools"

Claude fetches live data including current price, 24h volume, and ranked pools by liquidity.

Cross-DEX Arbitrage Opportunities

"Compare ETH/USDC pricing across Uniswap V3, SushiSwap, and Curve"

Get real-time price differences and volume data to spot arbitrage opportunities.

Technical Analysis Setup

"Get 30-day OHLCV data for SOL/USDC on Raydium and calculate RSI"

Historical candle data perfect for feeding into your analysis models or plotting charts.

DeFi Yield Farming Research

"Show me the highest APY pools on Fantom with over $100k TVL"

Identify lucrative yield opportunities with live liquidity metrics.

Integration Takes 2 Minutes

Add this to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dexpaprika": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["dexpaprika-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Done. Claude now has access to live DEX data across 15+ blockchains.

Real-World Performance

• 60 requests/minute on the free tier - enough for most analysis workflows
• 100-500ms response times - faster than manually checking multiple DEX interfaces
• 15-30 second data freshness - current enough for most trading decisions
• 1-year historical data - sufficient depth for backtesting and trend analysis

Concrete Use Cases

Portfolio Tracking Natural language queries to track your DeFi positions: "What's the current value of my LP tokens in the ETH/USDC pool on Uniswap?"

Market Research "Which new tokens on Solana gained the most volume in the last 24 hours?" - Perfect for discovering trending tokens before they hit major exchanges.

Liquidity Analysis "Show me all USDT pools with decreasing TVL over the past week" - Identify potential risks in your yield farming strategies.

Technical Analysis Historical OHLCV data flows directly into your analysis tools - no CSV exports or manual data collection needed.

Why This Beats Manual API Integration

Traditional Approach:

• Research 5+ different DEX APIs
• Handle different authentication methods
• Manage rate limits and error handling
• Parse inconsistent data formats
• Build caching layers for performance

DexPaprika MCP:

• One npm install command
• Ask Claude in natural language
• Consistent data format across all chains
• Built-in caching and error handling

The difference is measured in hours saved per analysis, not features gained.

Getting Started

# Install globally
npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp

# Start the server
dexpaprika-mcp

Configure Claude Desktop and start asking questions like:

• "What are the top 5 pools by volume on Ethereum right now?"
• "Get me OHLCV data for the past week on the SOL/USDC Raydium pool"
• "Compare trading fees across different DEXes for ETH/USDT pairs"

Your crypto research workflow just got significantly faster.
