What do you want to do?

4 use cases

  • Run Claude Code on other model providers

    Route Claude Code requests through a local gateway to the provider models you configure.

    View prompt
    Work in the my-free-code repository. Set MODEL_SONNET in .env to <provider/model-id>, start the gateway with python -m my_free_code, then launch Claude Code with python -m my_free_code.cli.mfc claude. Expected output: Claude Code opens and answers a short test prompt. Verify that the gateway log shows a request routed to <provider/model-id>.

  • Keep agent sessions running when a provider fails

    Set an ordered fallback list so a failed provider hands the request to the next model.

    View prompt
    In the my-free-code repository, set MODEL_SONNET to <primary-model> and FALLBACK_MODELS to <fallback-model-1>,<fallback-model-2> in .env, then start the gateway with python -m my_free_code. Expected output: a test request completes using the primary model. Verify that the gateway falls through to the next model when the primary is made to fail before output.

  • Run coding agents against local models

    Point the gateway at Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp so requests stay on your machine.

    View prompt
    In the my-free-code repository, set OLLAMA_BASE_URL and MODEL=ollama/<model-name> in .env, start the gateway with python -m my_free_code, and send one test request. Expected output: a completed response generated by the local model. Verify that no hosted provider key is required for the request to succeed.

  • Launch Codex through the local gateway

    Start Codex with the gateway as its backend using the built-in launcher.

    View prompt
    In the my-free-code repository, confirm the codex command is on PATH, start the gateway with python -m my_free_code, then run python -m my_free_code.cli.mfc codex. Expected output: Codex starts and completes a short test task. Verify that the gateway log records the request.

How to use My Free Code

  1. Check you have what it needs: Python 3.11 or newer; A clone of the my-free-code repository; At least one provider API key for the MODEL values you choose, or a local model server such as Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp.
  2. Open hkqr/my-free-code on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run python -m venv .venv, then activate it with source .venv/bin/activate on macOS or Linux.
  4. Run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
  5. Run cp .env.example .env, then set MODEL, MODEL_SONNET, MODEL_HAIKU, and MODEL_OPUS plus the matching provider API keys in .env.
  6. Run python -m my_free_code in one terminal and keep it running at http://127.0.0.1:8082.

These steps come from our top use case, Run Claude Code on other model providers, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
