Preview & navigate your Obsidian vault while coding with AI.
Why?
Cursor/VS Code is great for AI-assisted editing. Obsidian is great for knowledge management. This plugin bridges them — preview your notes with full Obsidian rendering while you code.
Features
Live Preview — Dataview, Admonition, callouts, all rendered
Click to Navigate — [[wikilinks]] and [[File#Heading]] work, with back button
Hover Preview — See linked notes without switching files
Syntax Highlighting — Wikilinks, tags, embeds colored in editor
Wikilink Completion — Type [[ to get file suggestions with alias support
Collapsible Callouts — Expand/collapse just like Obsidian
Auto Launch — Automatically detects vault, launches Obsidian, and installs/updates the plugin
Imgur Upload — Paste images directly to Imgur with Ctrl+Shift+V (requires Obsidian Imgur Plugin, Windows only)
Install
Strongly Recommended — one step for everything:
Search obsidianpreview in Cursor/VS Code Extensions and install. That's it.
On first use, the extension auto-detects your vault, installs the Obsidian plugin, and launches Obsidian for you.
