# `fastmcp.server.middleware.error_handling`
Error handling middleware for consistent error responses and tracking.
## Classes
### `ErrorHandlingMiddleware` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/error_handling.py#L18" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
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:**
#### `on_message` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/error_handling.py#L114" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
on_message(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next: CallNext) -> Any
```
Handle errors for all messages.
#### `get_error_stats` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/error_handling.py#L125" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
get_error_stats(self) -> dict[str, int]
```
Get error statistics for monitoring.
### `RetryMiddleware` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/error_handling.py#L130" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
Middleware that implements automatic retry logic for failed requests.
Retries requests that fail with transient errors, using exponential
backoff to avoid overwhelming the server or external dependencies.
**Methods:**
#### `on_request` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/middleware/error_handling.py#L186" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
on_request(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next: CallNext) -> Any
```
Implement retry logic for requests.
