help Kauri FAQ

Is Kauri the official Jupyter extension for VS Code?

The official VS Code Jupyter extension is Microsoft's ms-toolsai.jupyter, while I could not match Kauri to a public Marketplace listing or Project Jupyter release. Verify the publisher and extension ID before installing anything called Kauri.

Can Kauri open and run .ipynb files?

VS Code can open and run .ipynb notebooks through its built-in notebook UI plus the Jupyter extension, using a selected Python environment or remote Jupyter server. The Kauri listing does not establish a separate kernel, so confirm that it supports .ipynb files, kernels, and execution rather than only file browsing.

Does a VS Code notebook extension replace JupyterLab?

Not automatically: JupyterLab is a full web-based interface, while VS Code provides notebook editing inside an IDE. Both can run Python, R, Julia, and other kernels through the Jupyter ecosystem, so choose based on workflow rather than assuming Kauri adds a new notebook platform.

What should a data scientist check before trusting Kauri with notebooks?

Check the extension publisher, last release, permissions, kernel selection, remote-server support, and whether outputs survive save and version control. A real .ipynb is a JSON notebook document, so test open, execute, save, and reopen on the VS Code version you use.
