Introduction

Free Claude Code is a powerful open-source project designed to democratize access to advanced AI coding agents. It enables developers to utilize tools like Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, and many others, all from a unified interface. With support for over 50 ToS-friendly providers, users can benefit from more than 1.3 billion free tokens every month, making sophisticated AI assistance readily available for coding tasks. The project aims to provide a robust and flexible environment for AI-powered development, ensuring agent capabilities remain intact across various platforms.

Installation

Getting started with Free Claude Code is straightforward. Follow the quick start instructions for your operating system:

macOS/Linux:

curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alishahryar1/free-claude-code/main/scripts/install.sh" | sh

Windows PowerShell:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alishahryar1/free-claude-code/main/scripts/install.ps1")))

Re-running the same command will update your installation. During the process, you will be prompted to choose at least one coding agent and optionally RTK.

Examples

After installation, you can start the Free Claude Code server and then run your preferred coding agent.

1. Start FCC Server:

Windows/macOS: Open "Free Claude Code" from your desktop or Applications folder.
Linux: Run fcc-server in your terminal.

FCC will open the Admin UI, where you can configure providers and models. For example, to configure NVIDIA NIM, create an API key at build.nvidia.com/settings/api-keys, then paste it into NVIDIA_NIM_API_KEY in the Admin UI.

2. Run Your Coding Agent:

Once the server is running and configured, you can launch your chosen agent:

Claude Code:
```
fcc-claude
```
Codex:
```
fcc-codex
```
Pi:
```
fcc-pi
```
OpenCode:
```
fcc-opencode
```

Free Claude Code also supports integrations with IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains, allowing you to connect your client by configuring specific environment variables or config.toml files.

Why Use It

Free Claude Code offers several compelling advantages for developers:

Extensive Free Access: Gain access to 1.3 billion+ free tokens monthly across 50+ ToS-friendly providers, significantly reducing costs for AI-powered development.
Diverse Agent Support: Work with 10 different coding agents, including popular ones like Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, and more, all from a single platform.
Resilience and Reliability: Continue coding even through provider outages, as FCC automatically tries fallback models without interrupting your workflow.
Optimized Output: Benefit from up to 90% fewer terminal-output tokens thanks to optional RTK filters and five FCC optimizations.
Multi-Platform Compatibility: Use the tool across various environments, including your terminal, desktop applications, popular IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains, and even mobile devices via Discord or Telegram bots.
Voice Integration: Enhance your workflow with voice notes, converting spoken input into code using local Whisper or NVIDIA NIM transcription.
