DEX & On-chain Crypto API – Liquidity, Swaps, Tokens

Why DexPaprika + AI?

DexPaprika provides free, real-time on-chain DEX data covering 36 blockchains, 33M+ tokens, and 36M+ pools. No API key. No authentication. AI agents and AI-assisted IDEs can query token prices, pool data, historical OHLCV, swap transactions, and more — either through MCP (Model Context Protocol) or direct REST API calls. This page helps you pick the right integration for your setup.

Integration details

CLI

Install in one line and start querying:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coinpaprika/dexpaprika-cli/main/install.sh | sh

Works on macOS and Linux. Windows binaries available on GitHub releases.

# Get a token price
dexpaprika-cli token solana So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112

# Search for anything
dexpaprika-cli search uniswap

# Stream live prices
dexpaprika-cli stream ethereum 0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2

# JSON output for scripting and piping
dexpaprika-cli --output json --raw pools ethereum | jq '.[0]'

AI agents running in terminals can install the CLI and use --output json --raw for machine-readable output. The CLI covers every REST API endpoint plus live SSE streaming. Full CLI guide —>

Claude Code Plugin

The fastest path if you use Claude Code. Two commands and you’re done:

/plugin marketplace add coinpaprika/claude-marketplace
/plugin install dexpaprika

The plugin bundles an MCP server — no separate configuration needed. Ask Claude about token prices, pool data, or DEX analytics and it uses the plugin automatically. Full setup guide →

Hosted MCP Server

Add one URL to your AI tool’s config. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code. SSE endpoint (recommended): https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/sse

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dexpaprika": {
      "url": "https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/sse"
    }
  }
}

Cursor IDE

Go to Settings → Tools & Integrations → New MCP server, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dexpaprika": {
      "url": "https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/sse"
    }
  }
}

Or use the one-click install button in our docs.

VS Code

Use the one-click install button in our docs, or manually configure the MCP server in Copilot Chat settings.

Full hosted MCP guide →

Self-hosted MCP Server

Run the MCP server on your own machine:

npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp

Or run without installing:

npx dexpaprika-mcp@latest

Then configure your AI tool to use the dexpaprika-mcp command. Full self-hosted MCP guide →

Agent Skills

Give your AI agent full knowledge of the DexPaprika API, CLI, and streaming service:

npx skills add github.com/coinpaprika/skills/ --skill dexpaprika-api

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and 40+ other agents. The agent reads the skill files locally and makes API calls directly — no MCP server needed. Full skills guide —>

REST API

Any AI agent or framework can call the DexPaprika REST API directly. Base URL: https://api.dexpaprika.com See the REST API reference and the common patterns guide for standard workflows like price lookups, pool discovery, and historical data retrieval.

FAQs

Which integration should I use?

For terminal-based work and scripting, start with the CLI. If you use Claude Code, the plugin is the fastest path. For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code, use the hosted MCP server. For custom agents and applications, use the REST API directly.

Do I need an API key?

No. DexPaprika is free to use and public. No API key, no registration, no authentication needed for any integration method.

Can I use multiple integrations at once?

Yes. For example, you can use the MCP server in Cursor for interactive development and call the REST API from your application code.

What about rate limits?

The free API allows 10,000 requests per day. For unlimited access, see the Pro API.
