# Welcome
Contributions are very welcome on MCP Aiven. When contributing please keep this in mind:
- Open an issue to discuss new bigger features.
- Write code consistent with the project style and make sure the tests are passing.
- Stay in touch with us if we have follow up questions or requests for further changes.
## Development
You can find all the instructions to set up a local environment in the [README](README.md)
## Opening a PR
- Commit messages should describe the changes, not the filenames. Win our admiration by following
the [excellent advice from Chris Beams](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) when composing
commit messages.
- Choose a meaningful title for your pull request.
- The pull request description should focus on what changed and why.
- Check that the tests pass (and add test coverage for your changes if appropriate).
