![the key was never the lock - free Claude by base_url](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/e/cec231d8e0a29d9a69928fa09d5656cd4cab8b0d.jpeg)

> 🚪 **Paste one line for free Claude — or self-host a rotating pool. 39 free doors, ready to paste.**

Skip the “free Claude key” hunt — that’s the dead-end. **The `base_url` is the real lock.** Point Claude Code / Cline / Roo / Cursor at a free door and it just runs. Below is the whole kit — grab the line you need. 🔑❌

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

### 📋 Grab-and-paste — real Claude, no card

Drop **one** line into Claude Code (with that door’s own free key):

```auto
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.poe.com/v1 # Poe — 300 free Claude pts/day, no card
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://aihubmix.com # AiHubMix — standing free test quota (native)
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh # Vercel — $5 free every 30 days
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic # z.ai — ~$3/mo + trial, GLM-4.6 ≈ Claude-tier
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1 # Google Vertex — $300 / 90 days (real Claude)
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1 # Amazon Bedrock — ~$200 new-account (real Claude)

```

🖱 **No terminal?** In **[Cline / Roo](https://docs.cline.bot/provider-config/anthropic)** or **[SillyTavern](https://docs.sillytavern.app/usage/api-connections/openai/)** pick _“OpenAI Compatible,”_ paste any `base_url` + key — that box IS the trick.

That’s the starter kit. The full trove 👇 — 💎 rare · 🟢 no-terminal · ✅ native Anthropic (no glue)

⚠ **Two honest notes:** free-tier _amounts_ churn (Poe pts · Vercel $5 · Bedrock ~$200 · Vertex $300 · NVIDIA “never-expire”) — confirm at signup; and gpt4free/g4f uptime is a coin-flip (fallback, not foundation). Its all free tiers, trial credits, your own subs, and open endpoints.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  
**The key was never the lock. Own the base\_url and Claude is just a setting.**
