## What is the DexPaprika Claude Code plugin?

The DexPaprika plugin is a native Claude Code plugin that gives you instant access to real-time decentralized exchange (DEX) data, liquidity pool analytics, and token pricing information across 36 blockchain networks.

**Key features:**

* Real-time DEX and pool data access
* Token pricing and market analytics
* Liquidity pool information
* Coverage across 36 blockchain networks
* Built-in MCP server (no separate installation needed)
* Works in Claude Desktop and Cursor IDE
* Keyless to start: query without an API key, and [register a free key](https://console.dexpaprika.com) later to raise the allowance from 10,000 credits to 100,000

***

## Quick installation (2 commands)

### Step 1: Add the CoinPaprika marketplace

```bash theme={null}
/plugin marketplace add coinpaprika/claude-marketplace
```

This adds access to the CoinPaprika marketplace where the DexPaprika plugin is hosted.

### Step 2: Install the DexPaprika plugin

```bash theme={null}
/plugin install dexpaprika
```

Select **"Install now"** when prompted.

The plugin bundles the MCP server, so there are no config files, environment variables, or API keys to set up. You now have real-time DeFi data across 36 networks in Claude Code.

***

## Using the plugin

Once installed, you can ask Claude about DeFi data naturally:

### Example queries

**Get pool information:**

```
What are the top liquidity pools on Ethereum by volume?
```

**Find token prices:**

```
Show me the current price of USDC and USDT on Ethereum.
```

**Analyze specific pools:**

```
Tell me about the USDC/ETH pool on Uniswap V3.
```

**Discover networks:**

```
What blockchain networks are supported by DexPaprika?
```

**Search for tokens:**

```
Find all pools that include the PEPE token.
```

Claude will automatically use the plugin to fetch real-time data and provide you with current market information.

***

The DexPaprika plugin gives Claude access to:

### Network information

* List of supported blockchain networks
* Network metadata and specifications

### Decentralized exchanges (DEXes)

***

## Verify installation

After installing the plugin, you can check that it's working:

### Check available commands

```
/help
```

You should see the DexPaprika plugin listed among available commands.

### Test with a simple query

```
What networks does DexPaprika support?
```

Claude should return a list of supported blockchain networks (Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.).

***

## Managing the plugin

### View installed plugins

```
/plugin
```

Select "Manage Plugins" to see all installed plugins and their status.

### Enable/disable the plugin

```
/plugin disable dexpaprika@coinpaprika
```

Disable the plugin if you want to reduce context usage, but keep it installed.

```
/plugin enable dexpaprika@coinpaprika
```

Re-enable the plugin when you need it again.

### Uninstall the plugin

```
/plugin uninstall dexpaprika@coinpaprika
```

Completely remove the plugin if you no longer need it.

### Update the plugin

```
/plugin marketplace update coinpaprika/claude-marketplace
```

Keep the plugin up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.

***

## Practical use cases

### Portfolio monitoring

Ask Claude to track your tokens:

```
Monitor these tokens on Ethereum:
- WETH (0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2)
- USDC (0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48)
- DAI (0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f)

Show their current prices and highest volume pools.
```

### DEX comparison

```
Compare trading volumes on Uniswap and Curve across Ethereum and Polygon.
Which DEX has higher volume? Which pools are most active?
```

### Market research

```
On Solana, what are the top 10 liquidity pools by 24h volume?
For each pool, show token pairs, current price, volume in USD, and liquidity.
```

### Token discovery

```
Find emerging tokens on Base network.
Show the ones created recently with highest trading volume.
```

## 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:**

```bash theme={null}
/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.

> **What networks are supported?**
>
> 36 networks including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Fantom, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, and more. Ask Claude: "What networks are supported?"

> **Can I use both DexPaprika and CoinPaprika plugins together?**
>
> Yes! Install both for comprehensive crypto data:
>
> * `DexPaprika` - DEX and on-chain pool data
> * `CoinPaprika` - Global market cap and exchange data

> **What if Claude doesn't use the plugin automatically?**
>
> Ask explicitly: "Using DexPaprika, show me..." or phrase your question about pools, tokens, and DEXes specifically.

> **Is the plugin secure?**
>
> The plugin only makes read-only API calls to public DexPaprika endpoints. No private data is transmitted. All queries are logged per standard Anthropic policy.
