Connect DexPaprika to ChatGPT

Give ChatGPT live DEX market data from DexPaprika. Add it as a custom GPT Action (works on any paid plan, keyless) or as a native MCP connector in ChatGPT Developer Mode (beta).

There are two ways to give ChatGPT live DexPaprika data. Start with GPT Actions: it works on any paid ChatGPT plan, needs no API key, and is generally available. The native MCP connector is a second option, but it is a beta feature behind ChatGPT Developer Mode.

Option 1: Custom GPT with an Action (recommended)

A custom GPT with a DexPaprika Action queries networks, pools, tokens, and search from inside a ChatGPT conversation. Keyless, no beta.

Ready-to-use OpenAPI schema: https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/openapi. It exposes 12 keyless GET operations (networks, pools, DEXes, pool details, OHLCV, transactions, token details, top tokens, batch prices, search, stats) with no authentication.

Prerequisites: a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Team, or Enterprise). Custom GPTs are built on the web at chatgpt.com; you cannot build one from the mobile app.

1. Create a custom GPT

   On the web, open Explore GPTs, click Create, then open the Configure tab. Give it a name (for example “DexPaprika Crypto Assistant”) and an instruction like:

   You are a cryptocurrency and DeFi data assistant powered by DexPaprika. You can
   query blockchain networks, DEXes, liquidity pools, token prices, OHLCV history,
   and cross-chain search. Always call the action for live data rather than
   guessing, and include metrics like liquidity, 24h volume, and price when
   relevant.
   
2. Add the DexPaprika action

   Scroll to Actions and click Create new action. In the Schema field, choose Import from URL and paste:

   https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/openapi
   

   The builder lists the operations by operationId.

3. Set authentication to None

   DexPaprika is keyless and read-only, so set Authentication to None. Optionally add a privacy policy URL (dexpaprika.com/privacy-policy) if the builder asks for one.

4. Test and save

   Click Test on an operation, then try a prompt like “What are the top 5 liquidity pools on Ethereum by volume?”. When it returns live data, Save the GPT and choose its visibility.

Building GPTs is web-only, and some ChatGPT mobile builds have had trouble firing Actions. If an Action does not respond on mobile, test it on desktop web.

Option 2: Native MCP connector (Developer Mode, beta)

ChatGPT can connect directly to our hosted MCP server as a custom connector. This exposes all 17 DexPaprika tools, but it is a beta feature and the setup UI changes between releases.

As of 2026-07, custom MCP connectors live in ChatGPT Developer Mode (beta) and require a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Business/Team, Enterprise, or Edu). Free ChatGPT cannot add custom connectors. On workspace plans, an admin may need to enable Developer Mode first. The exact menu labels move between releases, so treat the steps below as a guide and confirm the current labels in-product.

1. Open Settings → Connectors, find the Advanced area, and enable Developer mode.
2. In the Connectors panel, choose Create / Add custom connector.
3. Paste the DexPaprika MCP server URL: https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/sse. If your Developer Mode build expects a Streamable HTTP endpoint instead, use https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/streamable-http. (Do not use /mcp.)
4. Set Authentication to No authentication, accept the trust confirmation, and save.
5. The DexPaprika tools then appear in chat.

This is a general chat connector, not a Deep Research or Company Knowledge connector. Those require an MCP server to implement search and fetch tools in OpenAI’s document-retrieval shape; DexPaprika has a search tool but no fetch, so it works through Developer Mode rather than those modes.

Example prompts

Once connected either way, try:

• “Which blockchain networks does DexPaprika support?”
• “What are the most liquid USDC/ETH pools across all networks?”
• “What’s the current price of SOL, and which DEX has the deepest liquidity for it?”
• “Find newly created pools on Base with high trading volume”
• “Compare 24h volume on PancakeSwap versus Uniswap”
• “Get 30-day OHLCV for the USDC/ETH pool on Uniswap V3”

Troubleshooting

The Action imports but returns errors

Confirm the schema URL is exactly https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/openapi, that your plan supports custom GPTs (any paid plan), and that authentication is set to None. Recreate the Action if the import failed midway.

The Action does not fire on mobile

Build and test on desktop web. Some ChatGPT mobile builds have not reliably triggered Actions.

I can't find Developer Mode / custom connectors

It is a paid-plan beta and Free cannot add custom connectors. On workspace plans, an admin enables Developer Mode first. The toggle has moved between releases; look under Settings, Connectors, then an Advanced area.

FAQs

Which method should I use?

Use a custom GPT with an Action. It works on any paid plan, needs no API key, and is not a beta feature. Use the native MCP connector only if you are in ChatGPT Developer Mode and want all 17 tools directly in chat.

Do I need an API key?

No. Both paths are keyless. The OpenAPI schema and the MCP server are public and read-only. A free registered key or Pro plan only raises your rate and monthly quota; see rate limits.

Can I use DexPaprika as a ChatGPT Deep Research connector?

Not as-is. Deep Research connectors require search and fetch tools in OpenAI’s document-retrieval schema. DexPaprika has search but no fetch, so it connects through Developer Mode instead.
