Introduction
$200 a month for Claude Code? That’s a lot to pay when you just want an AI agent to help you build websites or write code.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to set up free Claude Code with Free LLM API, connect it to Claude Desktop, and start building projects without paying for a Claude subscription.
