Free Claude Code lets you use Claude Code CLI and VSCode for free without an Anthropic API key. It proxies requests to free providers like NVIDIA NIM (40 req/min), OpenRouter free models, DeepSeek, or local LM Studio/llama.cpp. Just set 2 env vars, edit .env with your keys/models, run the server on port 8082, and point Claude to it—works seamlessly with thinking tokens, tool parsing, and rate limits. You save money on API costs, get unlimited local options for privacy/offline coding, and mix providers for top performance.
