# `fastmcp.server.middleware.timing`


Timing middleware for measuring and logging request performance.

## Classes

### `TimingMiddleware` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/timing.py#L10" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Middleware that logs the execution time of requests.

Only measures and logs timing for request messages (not notifications).
Provides insights into performance characteristics of your MCP server.


**Methods:**

#### `on_request` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/timing.py#L39" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

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

Time request execution and log the results.


### `DetailedTimingMiddleware` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/timing.py#L60" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Enhanced timing middleware with per-operation breakdowns.

Provides detailed timing information for different types of MCP operations,
allowing you to identify performance bottlenecks in specific operations.
