GitHub - Alishahryar1/free-claude-code: Use claude-code for free in the terminal, VSCode extension or via discord like openclaw
A lightweight Python proxy server that intercepts Claude Code CLI and VSCode extension API calls and reroutes them to free or local LLM providers — NVIDIA NIM (40 req/min free), OpenRouter (free models), DeepSeek, LM Studio, or llama.cpp. Supports per-model routing (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku to different backends), thinking token parsing, smart rate limiting, request optimization to save quota, and optional Discord/Telegram bot integration for remote autonomous coding sessions. Setup requires cloning the repo, configuring a .env file with provider keys, and running a uvicorn server alongside Claude Code.
