How to control Spotify playback and playlists with Hermes with Hermes Official Plugins

Add the Spotify plugin so Hermes can search, play, queue and manage your library and playlists.

Short answer: Run hermes plugins install spotify; then create your own Spotify developer app, since the plugin uses it for login; run hermes spotify login to complete the loopback PKCE login with your app. All steps.

Credentials. The login gives Hermes access to your Spotify account, including playlists and library, through your own developer app.

Who it is forA music listener who wants to control playback or manage playlists by asking an agent, with a Spotify Premium account.

The problemSwitching devices, building queues and finding tracks in the Spotify app takes many steps for simple requests.

The outcomeHermes searches the catalog, controls playback on Spotify Connect devices, edits the queue and updates playlists.

What you need first

  • Hermes Agent installed (the README gives a curl install script in the hermes-agent repo)
  • The hermes CLI available in your terminal
  • Accounts and credentials for the specific service you connect, such as Home Assistant, Spotify, Langfuse, Snyk or X
  • Each plugin's own requirements, shown by hermes plugins info <name>

Steps

  1. Run hermes plugins install spotify.
  2. Create your own Spotify developer app, since the plugin uses it for login.
  3. Run hermes spotify login to complete the loopback PKCE login with your app.
  4. Ask Hermes to search for a track and list your Spotify Connect devices with spotify_search and spotify_devices.
  5. Confirm playback control works; the README says it needs Premium.

Prompt for your agent

Using the repo NousResearch/hermes-official-plugins, install the spotify plugin and log in with `hermes spotify login` using my own developer app. Ask Hermes to search for <track or artist> with spotify_search and list devices with spotify_devices. Expected output is a search result list and a device list; verify that the device list shows the device you are using.

Caveat. Playback control needs a Spotify Premium account, according to the README, so a free account can only use the non-playback tools.
