Makes sense architecturally. The Claude Code SDK is well-designed for agentic use — sub-agents, hooks, session management all work cleanly. If you're building an IDE on top of it you'd want that foundation rather than rolling your own.

The interesting question is what Cursor adds on top — their UX and context management decisions are where differentiation actually lives.
