To initialize my new Dex workspace from scratch, I need to trigger the primary setup session tool. Which specific MCP server hosts the required function for this session initiation?

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
If System/.onboarding-complete already exists, setup is complete. Use getting-started for the
post-onboarding tour or reset for a role or preference change.
One narrow existing-vault repair is allowed: if setup is complete but
System/.dex/harness-profile.json is missing or Doctor says agent harness capabilities are
OFF, do not restart onboarding. Call inspect_harnesses, show the automatic / on-demand /
guided / unavailable preview and each host's named limits, ask the person to confirm one or more harnesses, then call
save_harness_selection(..., confirmed=true). That tool writes only the harness receipt
through the sanctioned provision transaction and leaves the profile, content and onboarding
marker unchanged.
Otherwise:
start_onboarding_session() from onboarding-mcp to initialize or resume
the session.core/onboarding/FLOW.md and follow it as the single source of the
onboarding conversation.This file deliberately contains no question script, so onboarding cannot fork.
Change onboarding in core/onboarding/FLOW.md and onboarding-mcp, then regenerate
the byte-identical .claude/flows/onboarding.md compatibility copy; never fork the
question script here.
