# Addon Examples

### Dedicated Example Addons

{"".join(overview)}

### Built-In Addons

Much of mitmproxy’s own functionality is defined in
[a suite of built-in addons](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/tree/main/mitmproxy/addons),
implementing everything from functionality like anticaching and sticky cookies to our onboarding webapp.
The built-in addons make for instructive reading, and you will quickly see that quite complex functionality
can often boil down to a very small, completely self-contained modules.


### Additional Community Examples

Additional examples contributed by the mitmproxy community can be found
[on GitHub](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/tree/main/examples/contrib).
