Linguistic features remain essential for interpretability and tasks that involve style, structure, and readability, but existing Spanish tools offer limited coverage. We present PUCPMetrix, an open-source and comprehensive toolkit for linguistic analysis of Spanish texts. PUCP-Metrix includes 182 linguistic metrics spanning lexical diversity, syntactic and semantic complexity, cohesion, psycholinguistics, and readability. It enables fine-grained, interpretable text analysis. We evaluate its usefulness on Automated Readability Assessment and Machine-Generated Text Detection, showing competitive performance compared to an existing repository and strong neural baselines. PUCP-Metrix offers a comprehensive and extensible resource for Spanish, supporting diverse NLP applications.
