The git repo is here: https://github.com/scip-code/scip
Looks like it's defined using protocol buffers, with "rich Go and Rust bindings" and links to implementations for many other languages.
I can’t speak for the Go bindings, but using the Rust crate has been pretty clean. Haven’t really felt the need to dip into deserializing raw .scip file in the time that I’ve been working with SCIP.
Oh, not SICP.
The similar acronym appears to be intentional:
> Note on the name: SCIP is pronounced the same way as “skip” and it’s a recursive acronym that stands for “SCIP Code Intelligence Protocol.”
> SCIP is also a purposeful nod to SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Programs), a book about analyzing programs.

Also not SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation), widely used to control lab instruments and pronounced similarly ("skippy").
Nor the other SCIP.

... and not the solver for mixed integer (linear) programming (MI(L)P) and mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP):
Something something powers go to definition… is this an implementation of an LSP server? Or a subset of what’s needed to implement LSP? A formerly proprietary alternative to LSP?
