# Integrating Documentation with Cursor IDE

> Learn how to integrate DexPaprika documentation and MCP server directly into Cursor IDE for enhanced development workflows with real-time crypto data access.

## Integration overview

Connect Cursor IDE to DexPaprika via the hosted MCP server and add docs for rich AI context.

## What is Cursor IDE?

Cursor is a powerful AI-first code editor built on top of VS Code that provides advanced AI assistance for developers. With its built-in Claude integration and MCP (Model Context Protocol) support, Cursor can access external data sources and documentation to provide more intelligent coding assistance.

## Why integrate DexPaprika with Cursor?

Integrating DexPaprika documentation and data with Cursor IDE provides several powerful benefits:

* **Real-time crypto data access** - Get live market data, pool information, and token prices while coding
* **Enhanced AI assistance** - Cursor's AI can reference DexPaprika documentation and data for better code suggestions
* **DeFi development workflow** - Build DeFi applications with direct access to comprehensive blockchain data
* **Documentation context** - AI can reference our API docs, tutorials, and examples while helping you code

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="MCP server connection issues">
    **Symptoms**: Cursor shows connection errors or timeouts.

    **Solutions**:

    1. Verify internet connection is stable
    2. Check that the MCP server URL is correct: `https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/sse`
    3. Restart Cursor completely
    4. Try removing and re-adding the MCP server configuration
    5. Check Cursor's console for detailed error messages
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Documentation not loading">
    **Symptoms**: Cursor's AI doesn't reference DexPaprika documentation.

    **Solutions**:

    1. Ensure documentation files are in your workspace
    2. Enable "Use workspace files as context" in AI settings
    3. Try asking more specific questions about our API
    4. Restart Cursor to refresh context
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Slow response times">
    **Symptoms**: Cursor takes a long time to respond with DexPaprika data.

    **Solutions**:

    1. Check your internet connection speed
    2. Try breaking complex queries into smaller parts
    3. Use specific network/token names in your queries
    4. Consider using the hosted MCP server for better performance
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Authentication issues">
    **Symptoms**: Getting authentication or permission errors.

    **Solutions**:

    1. DexPaprika API is publicly accessible - no authentication required
    2. Check if your network has firewall restrictions
    3. Try using the hosted MCP server instead of local installation
    4. Contact support if issues persist
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

***

## Best practices

### For optimal performance

1. **Use specific queries** - Instead of "show me all pools", ask for "top 5 USDC/ETH pools on Ethereum"
2. **Cache frequently used data** - Store common queries locally to reduce API calls
3. **Handle errors gracefully** - Implement proper error handling for network issues
4. **Monitor rate limits** - Be mindful of API usage patterns

### For better AI assistance

1. **Provide context** - Tell Cursor what you're building and your goals
2. **Reference documentation** - Ask Cursor to explain concepts from our docs
3. **Iterate on solutions** - Ask follow-up questions to refine the code
4. **Test with real data** - Use actual DexPaprika data in your development
