How It Works

The DexPaprika Claude Code plugin:
  1. Installs via the marketplace — /plugin install dexpaprika
  2. Includes built-in MCP server access — No separate MCP configuration needed
  3. Connects to DexPaprika API — Fetches real-time DEX and token data
  4. Provides data to Claude — Claude uses the data to answer your questions
  5. 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:
  1. Run /plugin marketplace update coinpaprika/claude-marketplace
  2. Restart Claude Code
  3. 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.
