You can take JR express train (JR 特急) and go there directly. No need for transfer. 直行JR特急 不用乗換.
JR pass is applicable for the whole Japan, so it is ok. JR West Rail pass or Kansai pass are not ok. But if you just go to Kanazawa 金沢, there is no need for you to buy a JR pass because it costs 28,300JPY. And a return ticket to and fro 金沢 for 1 person is only 14,880JPY (half JR pass' price).
For every hour there are 2 express trains going directly from Osaka 大阪 to Kanazawa 金沢.
(1) 大阪-->JR特急雷鳥号--> 金沢 (usually leaves at 12min every hour e.g.8:12, 9:12, 10:12 etc)
乗り換え:0回 (乗車2時間55分)
片道one way 7,440円(乗車券4,620円 特別料金2,820円)
(2) 大阪-->JR特急サンダーバード号--> 金沢 (usually leaves at 42min every hour e.g. 8:42, 9:42, 10:42 etc)
乗り換え:0回 (乗車2時間31分)
片道one way 7,440円(乗車券4,620円 特別料金2,820円)

So you want to find a nearest station that you can go to 金沢.Using JR West pass, the nearest station is Kyoto京都 as Fukui福井 is NOT INCLUDED in the pass.Taking the Kansai pass, the nearest station is Fukui福井 BUT you have to be careful as there are many Kansai pass.

You may buy is Fukui & Kyoto & Osaka Version of Kansai pass but this pass can only have unlimited travel between Kansai Airport, Osaka, Kyoto and Fukui. lf you plan to go to Nara, Kobe or Shirahama etc, you have to pay extra as these places are not included in this version of Kansai pass.

Kansai pass is not issued by JR and you can take JR and Nankai limited express trains. If l were you, l wont buy the Fukui KO version (5 days @ 15,300 Yen) because you only take 1 trip to Fukui. If you buy Kyoto & Osaka Version (4 days @ 6,500 Yen) you may save 8,800 Yen.

8,800 Yen is sufficient for u to go from京都 to 金沢 by express JR train (you can only use limited express train by Kansai pass and you have to pay extra from 福井to 金沢).
