Middleware that provides consistent error handling and logging.

Catches exceptions, logs them appropriately, and converts them to proper MCP error responses. Also tracks error patterns for monitoring.

Methods:

python
on_message(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next: CallNext) -> Any

Handle errors for all messages.

get_error_stats <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/error_handling.py#L131" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
