 When a client calls "child_tool", the request will flow through the parent's authentication middleware first, then route to the child server where it will go through the child's logging middleware.
 
-## Examples
+## Built-in Middleware Examples
 
-### Authentication Middleware
+FastMCP includes several production-ready middleware implementations that demonstrate best practices and provide immediately useful functionality. Let's explore how each type works by building simplified versions, then see how to use the full implementations.
 
-This middleware checks for a valid authorization token on all requests:
+### Timing Middleware
+
+Performance monitoring is essential for understanding your server's behavior and identifying bottlenecks. FastMCP includes production-ready timing middleware at `fastmcp.server.middleware.timing`. 
+
+Here's an example of how it works:
 
 ```python
+import time
 from fastmcp.server.middleware import Middleware, MiddlewareContext
-from fastmcp.exceptions import ToolError
 
-class AuthenticationMiddleware(Middleware):
-    def __init__(self, required_token: str):
-        self.required_token = required_token
+class SimpleTimingMiddleware(Middleware):
+    async def on_request(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next):
+        start_time = time.perf_counter()
+        
+        try:
+            result = await call_next(context)
+            duration_ms = (time.perf_counter() - start_time) * 1000
+            print(f"Request {context.method} completed in {duration_ms:.2f}ms")
+            return result
+        except Exception as e:
+            duration_ms = (time.perf_counter() - start_time) * 1000
+            print(f"Request {context.method} failed after {duration_ms:.2f}ms: {e}")
+            raise
+```
+
+To use the full production version with proper logging and configuration:
+
+```python
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.timing import (
+    TimingMiddleware, 
+    DetailedTimingMiddleware
+)
+
+# Basic timing for all requests
+mcp.add_middleware(TimingMiddleware())
+
+# Detailed per-operation timing (tools, resources, prompts)
+mcp.add_middleware(DetailedTimingMiddleware())
+```
+
+The built-in versions include custom logger support, proper formatting, and **DetailedTimingMiddleware** provides operation-specific hooks like `on_call_tool` and `on_read_resource` for granular timing.
+
+### Logging Middleware
+
+Request and response logging is crucial for debugging, monitoring, and understanding usage patterns in your MCP server. FastMCP provides comprehensive logging middleware at `fastmcp.server.middleware.logging`. 
+
+Here's an example of how it works:
+
+```python
+from fastmcp.server.middleware import Middleware, MiddlewareContext
+
+class SimpleLoggingMiddleware(Middleware):
+    async def on_message(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next):
+        print(f"Processing {context.method} from {context.source}")
+        
+        try:
+            result = await call_next(context)
+            print(f"Completed {context.method}")
+            return result
+        except Exception as e:
+            print(f"Failed {context.method}: {e}")
+            raise
+```
+
+To use the full production versions with advanced features:
+
+```python
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.logging import (
+    LoggingMiddleware, 
+    StructuredLoggingMiddleware
+)
+
+# Human-readable logging with payload support
+mcp.add_middleware(LoggingMiddleware(
+    include_payloads=True,
+    max_payload_length=1000
+))
+
+# JSON-structured logging for log aggregation tools
+mcp.add_middleware(StructuredLoggingMiddleware(include_payloads=True))
+```
+
+The production versions include payload logging, structured JSON output, custom logger support, payload size limits, and operation-specific hooks for granular control.
+
+### Rate Limiting Middleware
+
+Rate limiting is essential for protecting your server from abuse, ensuring fair resource usage, and maintaining performance under load. FastMCP includes sophisticated rate limiting middleware at `fastmcp.server.middleware.rate_limiting`. 
+
+Here's an example of how it works:
+
+```python
+import time
+from collections import defaultdict
+from fastmcp.server.middleware import Middleware, MiddlewareContext
+from mcp import McpError
+from mcp.types import ErrorData
+
+class SimpleRateLimitMiddleware(Middleware):
+    def __init__(self, requests_per_minute: int = 60):
+        self.requests_per_minute = requests_per_minute
+        self.client_requests = defaultdict(list)
     
     async def on_request(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next):
-        if hasattr(context, 'fastmcp_context') and context.fastmcp_context:
-            try:
-                request = context.fastmcp_context.get_http_request()
-                auth_header = request.headers.get("Authorization")
-                
-                if not auth_header or not auth_header.startswith("Bearer "):
-                    raise ToolError("Missing or invalid authorization header")
-                
-                token = auth_header.split(" ", 1)[1]
-                if token != self.required_token:
-                    raise ToolError("Invalid authentication token")
-                    
-            except Exception:
-                pass
+        current_time = time.time()
+        client_id = "default"  # In practice, extract from headers or context
+        
+        # Clean old requests and check limit
+        cutoff_time = current_time - 60
+        self.client_requests[client_id] = [
+            req_time for req_time in self.client_requests[client_id]
+            if req_time > cutoff_time
+        ]
+        
+        if len(self.client_requests[client_id]) >= self.requests_per_minute:
+            raise McpError(ErrorData(code=-32000, message="Rate limit exceeded"))
         
+        self.client_requests[client_id].append(current_time)
         return await call_next(context)
+```
+
+To use the full production versions with advanced algorithms:
 
-# Usage
-mcp = FastMCP("SecureServer")
-mcp.add_middleware(AuthenticationMiddleware("secret-token-123"))
+```python
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.rate_limiting import (
+    RateLimitingMiddleware, 
+    SlidingWindowRateLimitingMiddleware
+)
+
+# Token bucket rate limiting (allows controlled bursts)
+mcp.add_middleware(RateLimitingMiddleware(
+    max_requests_per_second=10.0,
+    burst_capacity=20
+))
+
+# Sliding window rate limiting (precise time-based control)
+mcp.add_middleware(SlidingWindowRateLimitingMiddleware(
+    max_requests=100,
+    window_minutes=1
+))
 ```
 
-### Performance Monitoring Middleware
+The production versions include token bucket algorithms, per-client identification, global rate limiting, and async-safe implementations with configurable client identification functions.
 
-This middleware tracks how long tools take to execute:
+### Error Handling Middleware
+
+Consistent error handling and recovery is critical for robust MCP servers. FastMCP provides comprehensive error handling middleware at `fastmcp.server.middleware.error_handling`.
+
+Here's an example of how it works:
 
 ```python
-import time
 import logging
+from fastmcp.server.middleware import Middleware, MiddlewareContext
 
-class PerformanceMiddleware(Middleware):
+class SimpleErrorHandlingMiddleware(Middleware):
     def __init__(self):
-        self.logger = logging.getLogger("performance")
+        self.logger = logging.getLogger("errors")
+        self.error_counts = {}
     
-    async def on_call_tool(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next):
-        tool_name = context.message.name
-        start_time = time.time()
-        
+    async def on_message(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next):
         try:
-            result = await call_next(context)
-            execution_time = time.time() - start_time
-            
-            self.logger.info(
-                f"Tool {tool_name} completed in {execution_time:.3f}s"
-            )
-            
-            return result
+            return await call_next(context)
+        except Exception as error:
+            # Log the error and track statistics
+            error_key = f"{type(error).__name__}:{context.method}"
+            self.error_counts[error_key] = self.error_counts.get(error_key, 0) + 1
             
-        except Exception as e:
-            execution_time = time.time() - start_time
-            self.logger.error(
-                f"Tool {tool_name} failed after {execution_time:.3f}s: {e}"
-            )
+            self.logger.error(f"Error in {context.method}: {type(error).__name__}: {error}")
             raise
 ```
 
-### Request Transformation Middleware
+To use the full production versions with advanced features:
+
+```python
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.error_handling import (
+    ErrorHandlingMiddleware, 
+    RetryMiddleware
+)
+
+# Comprehensive error logging and transformation
+mcp.add_middleware(ErrorHandlingMiddleware(
+    include_traceback=True,
+    transform_errors=True,
+    error_callback=my_error_callback
+))
+
+# Automatic retry with exponential backoff
+mcp.add_middleware(RetryMiddleware(
+    max_retries=3,
+    retry_exceptions=(ConnectionError, TimeoutError)
+))
+```
+
+The production versions include error transformation, custom callbacks, configurable retry logic, and proper MCP error formatting.
+
+### Combining Middleware
 
-This middleware adds metadata to tool calls:
+These middleware work together seamlessly:
 
 ```python
-class TransformationMiddleware(Middleware):
-    async def on_call_tool(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next):
-        if hasattr(context.message, 'arguments'):
-            args = context.message.arguments or {}
-            args['_middleware_timestamp'] = context.timestamp.isoformat()
-            
-            modified_context = context.copy(
-                message=context.message.model_copy(update={'arguments': args})
-            )
-        else:
-            modified_context = context
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.timing import TimingMiddleware
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.logging import LoggingMiddleware
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.rate_limiting import RateLimitingMiddleware
+from fastmcp.server.middleware.error_handling import ErrorHandlingMiddleware
+
+mcp = FastMCP("Production Server")
+
+# Add middleware in logical order
+mcp.add_middleware(ErrorHandlingMiddleware())  # Handle errors first
+mcp.add_middleware(RateLimitingMiddleware(max_requests_per_second=50))
+mcp.add_middleware(TimingMiddleware())  # Time actual execution
+mcp.add_middleware(LoggingMiddleware())  # Log everything
+
+@mcp.tool
+def my_tool(data: str) -> str:
+    return f"Processed: {data}"
+```
+
+This configuration provides comprehensive monitoring, protection, and observability for your MCP server.
+
+### Custom Middleware Example
+
+You can also create custom middleware by extending the base class:
+
+```python
+from fastmcp.server.middleware import Middleware, MiddlewareContext
+
+class CustomHeaderMiddleware(Middleware):
+    async def on_request(self, context: MiddlewareContext, call_next):
+        # Add custom logic here
+        print(f"Processing {context.method}")
         
-        return await call_next(modified_context)
+        result = await call_next(context)
+        
+        print(f"Completed {context.method}")
+        return result
+
+mcp.add_middleware(CustomHeaderMiddleware())
 ```
