Cursor can use the Claude Sonnet and Claude Opus LLMs, so I would expect output to be quite similar in that respect.
The agentic part of the equation is improving on both sides all the time.

There's something in the prompting, tooling, heuristics inside the Claude Code CLI itself that makes it more than just the model it's talking to and that becomes clear if you point your ANTROPHIC_URL at another model. The results are often almost equivalent.
Whereas I tried Kilo Code and CoPilot and JetBrain's agent and others direct against Sonnet 4 and the output was ... not good ... in comparison.
I have my criticisms of Claude but still find it very impressive.
Claude Code is much more efficient even compared to Cursor using the Anthropic models. The planning and tool use is much better.
