# 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.

<Note>
  Ready-to-use OpenAPI schema: [`https://mcp.dexpaprika.com/openapi`](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.
</Note>

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="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`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](https://dexpaprika.com/privacy-policy)) if the builder asks for one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  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.
</Tip>

## 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.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

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.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The Action does not fire on mobile">
    Build and test on desktop web. Some ChatGPT mobile builds have not reliably triggered Actions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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 raises the monthly allowance from 200,000 credits to 500,000, and Pro raises it to 5,000,000 at 300 requests a minute; see [rate limits](/knowledge-base/rate-limits).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
