The record

Purpose: jscpd scans source code for duplicate code and can fail a build when duplication exceeds a configured threshold.
Languages: The site says jscpd supports 224 languages.
Clone types: It detects exact clones by default and offers opt-in detection for renamed, near-miss, and semantic clones; semantic detection is described as experimental.
Native binary: The v5 release is a self-contained native binary that does not require a Node.js runtime.
Install platforms: Direct binaries are listed for macOS, Linux, and Windows, including x64 and ARM64 variants.
Reports: Reporters include HTML, JSON, XML, README badges, SARIF, CodeClimate, and OpenMetrics formats.
CI integrations: The GitHub Action scans repositories, enforces a threshold, and uploads SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning; the site also documents GitLab CI reporters.
Developer workflow: It can run in pre-commit hooks through the pre-commit framework, Husky, or a shell hook.
AI integrations: A built-in MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client check code for clones, and the project provides agent skills.
Codebase analysis: The dashboard summarizes project size, duplication, complexity, dead code, and a health score in one run.
Dead-code limits: The dashboard documentation says dead-code analysis covers JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, plus Rust when compiler diagnostics are supplied.
Local use: The site describes a CLI-first tool for laptops and CI/CD, and provides Docker installation.
Maker: The site credits Andrey Kucherenko and contributors; it does not state a headquarters or founding year in the pages opened.
