scc is a very fast, accurate lines-of-code counter written in pure Go that also computes code complexity estimates, COCOMO/LOCOMO effort estimates, and unique-lines (DRYness) metrics across many programming languages. It supports multiple output formats, HTML reports, and an MCP server mode for AI agents.

Use cases

  • count lines of code in a repository
  • measure code complexity across a codebase
  • estimate software project cost with COCOMO
  • compare code statistics between languages
  • generate code statistics reports in CI
  • find duplicate or non-DRY code via unique line counts
  • feed codebase metrics to AI agents via MCP

When to choose

  • you need a fast, accurate alternative to cloc, sloccount, or tokei
  • you want code counting plus complexity and effort estimates in one tool
  • you need cross-platform support without runtime dependencies
  • you want machine-readable output (JSON, CSV) for pipelines

When to avoid

  • you need deep static analysis or linting rather than line counting
  • you need historical/team dashboards, which are only planned for a paid enterprise version
  • you require per-function cyclomatic complexity from a full parser
