# DexPaprika

Gives your coding agent live DEX data: liquidity pools, token prices, trading volume, swaps. The free tier runs without an API key.

## What it does

DexPaprika is an MCP server from coinpaprika that wires its market-data API into an AI assistant. The self-host build exposes 20 read-only tools. You get `search` for tokens, pools and DEXes by name, ticker or address, `getNetworks` for the supported chains, `getNetworkPools` for top pools, and `getCapabilities` — the README suggests starting there.

It is a stdio server: it talks over stdin and stdout and opens no port. Start it with `npx dexpaprika-mcp@latest`, or install globally with `npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp`. A hosted option skips local setup entirely — point the client at `https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/streamable-http`; SSE and JSON-RPC endpoints exist too.

An API key is optional. A free one raises the monthly allowance and unlocks streaming for any token, though the per-minute request cap stays the same. Paste the key as the whole `Authorization` value with nothing in front of it. A key the API cannot read still returns a normal 200 with data, so a typo looks like a success — call `getKeyStatus` afterwards to see which plan the API actually recognises. Dev and Pro customers also set `DEXPAPRIKA_API_BASE_URL` to `https://api-pro.dexpaprika.com`; the host does not switch on its own, and a free key sent there gets a 403.

## Requirements

```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
gemini mcp add -t http dexpaprika https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/streamable-http
```

## When to use it
- check token prices and liquidity across several chains
- list liquidity pools on a given DEX
- compare volume and fees between exchanges
- pull historical OHLCV candles for analysis
- verify that an API key is actually reaching the server

## Example prompts
- Find the liquidity pools for USDC on Ethereum and show the largest by TVL.
- Compare daily trading volume across two DEXes on the Base network.
- Run `getKeyStatus` and tell me which plan the API sees.
