+## Logging
+
+The per-MCP-message access log is **off by default**, matching FastAPI and Litestar. Turn it on
+explicitly:
+
+```python
+FastMcpConfig(
+    service_name="microservice",
+    fastmcp_logging_middleware_enabled=True,
+)
+```
+
+Enabled, each message is logged with its `method`, `source` and `type`, plus `duration` in
+nanoseconds. A message that raises is logged at exception level and the exception is re-raised.
+
+This replaces `logging_turn_off_middleware`, which has been removed. Setting it now raises
+`TypeError`: the default flipped from on to off, so a service that configured the old field has to
+decide again rather than upgrade past the change unnoticed.
