Free Claude Code

Proxy routing Claude Code's API calls to free providers (NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, local LM Studio).

Desktopfreeglobal

A lightweight proxy that routes Claude Code's Anthropic-shaped API calls to free or local backends like NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, or a local LM Studio instance. It addresses the lack of a free workflow by letting the unmodified Claude Code CLI and VSCode extension run against free or self‑hosted providers with only two environment variables. Designed for developers who want to try Claude Code without an Anthropic API subscription or who prefer local/offline model backends; open-source under an MIT license.
