You can use Claude Code at a low cost or even for free! Because Claude Code has been "modified" by someone.
You can enjoy a coding experience almost indistinguishable from Claude's native toolchain at less than 1/10 the cost or even for free.
Besides integrating cheap model solutions, this article will also explain two methods for configuring MCP tools in Claude Code and using Claude Code on Windows.
Why can it achieve this?
Because it doesn't just replace the model, it also implements an intelligent routing system.
The one doing this modification is Claude Code Router. It can automatically distribute code requests to the most suitable model based on task complexity (such as background tasks, complex reasoning, and long text processing).
Background tasks are handed to locally running qwen2.5-coder, completely free. Complex reasoning is given to DeepSeek-Reasoner, letting professional reasoning models handle professional tasks.
And after the "modification", it can also compensate for Claude Code's shortcomings: when the context is too short, it directly switches to Google/Gemini.
So, how exactly does this "modification" tool work? And what black technologies does it have?
