DexPaprika MCP Server provides on-demand access to cryptocurrency and DEX data across multiple blockchains. This tool lets AI assistants like Claude fetch real-time token, pool, and DEX information programmatically, with zero configuration and no API keys required.
npx -y @smithery/cli install @coinpaprika/dexpaprika-mcp --client claude
# Install globally
npm install -g dexpaprika-mcp
# Verify installation
dexpaprika-mcp --version
# Start the server
dexpaprika-mcp
# Or run directly without installation
npx dexpaprika-mcp
The server runs on port 8010 by default. When successfully started, you'll see the message: MCP server is running at http://localhost:8010.

When working with Claude, try these specific queries:
getNetworkPools instead with a specific network parameterTo add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "dexpaprika" '{"command":"npx","args":["dexpaprika-mcp"]}'See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dexpaprika": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"dexpaprika-mcp"
]
}
}
}To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dexpaprika": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"dexpaprika-mcp"
]
}
}
}3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
