How to Set Up and Use Dexscreener Scanner
Dexscreener CLI MCP Tool is an integrated terminal scanner and MCP server that provides real-time decentralized exchange token data from Dexscreener directly to AI agents and CLI users. It ships three components together: a 'ds' CLI with live dashboard modes, an MCP server exposing 15 tools for natural language token queries, and a Skill file that teaches AI agents how to use the MCP and CLI effectively. Crypto traders, DeFi analysts, and AI agents can use it to discover trending tokens, search by name or address, run deep token inspections, save filter presets, schedule automated alerts, and export data as JSON for downstream automation.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.11 or newer
- Git installed for cloning the repository
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor for natural language queries
- Optional: MORALIS_API_KEY for enhanced holder data (free tier: 40,000 monthly requests)
- Optional: A Discord webhook URL for automated alert notifications

'ds' command not found after installation
On macOS/Linux, use './ds' with the explicit relative path, not 'ds'. The installer does not add the script to PATH by default. On Windows, run 'ds' from within the cloned directory or add it to your PATH manually.
Live dashboard shows stale data or does not refresh
The default cache TTL is 10 seconds. If data appears stale, check your internet connection to Dexscreener's API. You can also set DS_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS=5 in your environment to force more frequent refreshes.
Moralis holder data is not showing in token inspections
Set the MORALIS_API_KEY environment variable before running the tool. Without it, holder data falls back to basic Dexscreener data. Get a free Moralis API key at moralis.io (40,000 monthly requests on the free tier).
