```

**MCP**

MCP servers expose Salesforce actions as on-demand tools.

Knowledge Article Updated (Instant, of Selectable Type) is an event source, so your application deploys it with the Connect SDK or API and then either receives each event at a webhook URL or retrieves events on demand with the trigger events API.

## Event delivery

Every event is sent to the HTTP endpoint you choose when you deploy the source. Or: no webhook required — your app or agent can fetch recent events from the [trigger events API](https://pipedream.com/docs/connect/api-reference/list-trigger-events.md) instead.
