I don't know of any usage stats, but Claude has been mentioned in nearly twice as many comments on HN during the past year compared to Cursor:

It would behoove as to no longer rely on metrics like comment count from anonymous users going forward! This used to be a reasonable proxy, but I do not believe it is meaningful now.

You're comparing it to "Claude", not "Claude code", which brings up lots of unrelated entries.
