# [center]🎯 [FREE TOOL] Claude Code — Free Providers, Per-Model Routing, Voice Input[/center] [center][color=#595959]*5-min setup. Anthropic's $200/mo coding agent, fueled by free DeepSeek, Kimi & friends. 20K+ devs already on it.*[/color][/center] [center]![image|690x373](upload://ye0uS8guvxfREqyoqAl4oisELS3.png)[/center] [center]![image|690x366](upload://kyBoPI8vv1FZ6hcrWlfMQhAIage.png)[/center] --- [color=#1B5E20]**🎯 Tiny proxy → Claude Code thinks it's calling Anthropic → actually hits free brains. $0 forever.**[/color] 🔗 **Repo:** [github.com/Alishahryar1/free-claude-code](https://github.com/Alishahryar1/free-claude-code) --- [details="🧠 How it works — 30 sec"] **Normal:** Claude Code → Anthropic servers → 💳 your card cries. **This:** Claude Code → tiny proxy on your laptop → free AI (DeepSeek/Kimi/etc.) → answer comes back in Anthropic's format → Claude Code never knows. > 💡 Phone re-router. Claude Code dials Anthropic, proxy intercepts: *"forwarding to DeepSeek instead."* Caller never knows. Magic happens in the middle. [/details] [details="🍿 What you get"] | Loot | Plain-English | |---|---| | 🎯 Drop-in replacement | Same Claude Code CLI / VS Code / JetBrains — no new app to learn | | 🔀 10 free brains | NVIDIA · Kimi · Wafer · OpenRouter · DeepSeek · LM Studio · llama.cpp · Ollama · OpenCode Zen · Z.ai | | 🧠 Per-model routing | Opus tasks → one model, Sonnet → another, Haiku → another | | 🎤 Voice-to-code | Talk to your code (Whisper / NVIDIA NIM) | | 💬 Discord + Telegram bots | Run Claude Code from your phone via DM | | 🖥️ Web admin UI | Pretty dashboard at `127.0.0.1:8082/admin` — point + click | | 🔌 Tools / MCP / streaming | All preserved. Nothing breaks. | [/details] [details="🎮 Setup — copy-paste edition"] **1. Install Claude Code:** ``` npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code ``` **2. Install `uv` + Python 3.14:** 🍎🐧 macOS / Linux: ``` curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh uv self update uv python install 3.14 ``` 🪟 Windows PowerShell: ``` powershell ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex" uv self update uv python install 3.14 ``` **3. Install the proxy:** ``` uv tool install --force git+https://github.com/Alishahryar1/free-claude-code.git ``` **4. Start it:** ``` fcc-server ``` → terminal prints `Admin UI: http://127.0.0.1:8082/admin` — click it. **5. Drop in a free API key** in the Admin UI (NVIDIA NIM = easiest, grab a key at [build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys](https://build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys)) → **Validate** → **Apply**. **6. Run Claude Code via the proxy:** ``` fcc-claude ``` > 💡 `fcc-claude` = `claude` with the proxy wired in. Same commands. Zero re-learning. [/details] [details="🪪 Which free provider to pick"] | Provider | Best for | Why | |---|---|---| | 🟢 **NVIDIA NIM** | First-timers | Free, fast, no card. Default pick. | | 🟦 **DeepSeek** | Coding | DeepSeek V3.1 ≈ Sonnet at code | | 🌙 **Kimi (Moonshot)** | Big codebases | Massive context window | | 🌐 **OpenRouter** | Variety | Browse [free models list](https://openrouter.ai/models?max_price=0) | | 🍰 **Wafer** | Backup | Anthropic-compatible, easy swap | | 💻 **Ollama / LM Studio / llama.cpp** | Privacy | 100% local. Code never leaves your box. | > 💡 Set ALL of them → proxy falls back automatically. One dies → next picks up. No babysitting. [/details] [details="🛡️ Catch check"] | Q | A | |---|---| | Free forever? | While these providers keep free tiers — NVIDIA/DeepSeek/Kimi have been free 1+ year | | Quality vs real Claude? | DeepSeek V3.1 ≈ Sonnet. Not Opus-tier. 95% of devs won't notice. | | Safe? | MIT licensed, 27.5k ⭐, 32 contributors, code auditable | | Anthropic-banned? | No. You're not even hitting Anthropic — they don't know you exist. | | Tools / agents / MCP? | All work. Vision, streaming, function calling — preserved. | | Logs my prompts? | Locally only. Nothing phoned home. | [/details] [details="💸 The math"] | Plan | Cost | What you get | |---|---|---| | 💰 Claude Code Max | $100–200/mo | Real Opus + Sonnet | | 🟢 **Free Claude Code (this)** | **$0/mo** | DeepSeek + Kimi + 8 others, ~95% as good | | 🆓 Anthropic free tier | Tiny | Wall in 30 min | **Heavy user saves $1,000+/year.** [/details] --- **🪄 Simple-pimple:** install proxy → grab free NVIDIA key → run `fcc-claude` instead of `claude`. Same workflow, $0 bill, Anthropic doesn't know you exist. [center][color=#1B5E20]*Anthropic's $200/mo plan, paid in zero dollars. Don't tell them.*[/color][/center]
