Provider-backed proxy that runs Claude Code, Codex or Pi on 25 cloud and local providers — fcc-* launchers, local Admin UI with validation, per-tier model routing, IDE/Discord/Telegram hookups.
Why switchSame slot — run coding CLIs on non-Anthropic providers for free — different philosophy: FCC is launcher + Admin UI where you pick and validate one provider (with per-tier overrides); FreeLLMAPI stacks 18 providers' free tiers behind a router with automatic failover and quota tracking.
