## What it is
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
