Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Malomalsky/dexscreener-mcp-server.git
cd dexscreener-mcp-server

# Standard installation
pip install -e .

# For development
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# If you have FastAPI compatibility issues
pip install -e ".[fastapi-compat]"

Dependency Conflicts

If you encounter dependency conflicts with FastAPI or other packages:

# Option 1: Use virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .

# Option 2: Force installation (may cause issues)
pip install -e . --force-reinstall

# Option 3: Use compatibility mode
pip install -e ".[fastapi-compat]"

# Option 4: Standalone minimal installation
python standalone_install.py

Configuration

# Copy example environment file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit configuration (optional - works great with defaults!)
nano .env

Running the Server

⚠️ Important: This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to run within MCP-enabled applications. It cannot be used standalone.

# Test the server installation
python -c "from dexscreener_mcp.server import DexScreenerMCPServer; print('✅ Server ready!')"

# The server will be automatically started by MCP clients
# Do NOT run these commands directly unless testing:
# python -m dexscreener_mcp.server  # Will wait for MCP protocol input

How it works: MCP applications (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) will automatically start and communicate with this server using the stdio protocol.

Integration with Applications

⚠️ MCP Support Status:

• ✅ Claude Desktop: Full native support
• 🧪 Cursor IDE: Experimental/limited support
• 🧪 Zed Editor: Experimental support
• 🧪 VS Code: Requires MCP extension
• ❓ Continue.dev: Support may vary

"Search for trending Ethereum pairs" 
"Find information about Uniswap V3 WETH/USDC pair"
"Show me the top 5 trending pairs on Base network"
"What's the current price and volume for PEPE token?"

And 20+ more networks supported!

Response Models

All API responses are validated using Pydantic v2 models:

# Token Information
class TokenResponse:
    pairs: List[PairInfo]  # All trading pairs for token

# Trading Pair Details  
class PairResponse:
    pair: Optional[PairInfo]  # Detailed pair information

# Search Results
class SearchResult:
    pairs: List[PairInfo]  # Matching pairs from search

# Trending Data
class TrendingResponse:
    pairs: List[PairInfo]  # Hot/trending pairs

Error Handling

Performance & Optimization

Speed Features

• Smart Caching: TTL-based response caching
• Rate Limiting: Respectful 300 req/min default
• Connection Pooling: Efficient HTTP client reuse
• Async Architecture: Non-blocking I/O operations
• Batch Processing: Multi-pair requests in single call

Performance Metrics

# Typical response times (with cache miss)
Token Info:        ~200ms
Pair Details:      ~150ms  
Search Results:    ~300ms
Trending Pairs:    ~250ms

# With cache hit: ~5-10ms
# Rate limit overhead: ~0ms (smart queuing)
