How it works

The DexPaprika Claude Code plugin:

Installs via the marketplace - /plugin install dexpaprika
Includes built-in MCP server access - No separate MCP configuration needed
Connects to DexPaprika API - Fetches real-time DEX and token data
Provides data to Claude - Claude uses the data to answer your questions
Returns formatted results - Get market analysis, pool data, pricing information

The MCP server is built into the plugin, so you don’t need to install or configure it separately.

Troubleshooting

Plugin not showing up

Problem: After installing, you don’t see the DexPaprika plugin in /help Solution:

Run /plugin marketplace update coinpaprika/claude-marketplace
Restart Claude Code
Run /plugin install dexpaprika again

Claude not using the plugin

Problem: You ask about DEX data but Claude doesn’t use the plugin Solution:

Ask explicitly: “Using DexPaprika, show me…”
Or phrase questions about pools, tokens, and DEXes specifically
Claude automatically recognizes plugin-relevant queries

Plugin commands not working

Problem: /plugin commands not recognized Solution:

Ensure you’re in Claude Code (not another terminal)
Check that you’re using the correct syntax: /plugin install dexpaprika
Verify marketplace is added: /plugin marketplace add coinpaprika/claude-marketplace

No data returned

Problem: Claude can’t find data for your query Solution:

Check the network name (use lowercase: ethereum, solana, not Ethereum)
Verify token address format for your blockchain
Some tokens may not have pricing data; try with major tokens (WETH, USDC, DAI)

Integration with CoinPaprika plugin

The same marketplace also hosts the CoinPaprika plugin for global cryptocurrency market data. Install both for complete crypto coverage:

/plugin install dexpaprika
/plugin install coinpaprika

What you get:

DexPaprika plugin - DEX pools, on-chain liquidity, tokens on specific networks
CoinPaprika plugin - Global crypto rankings, market cap, exchange data

Use them together to compare DEX prices with exchange prices and find arbitrage opportunities.
