Hermes Official Plugins for Hermes Agent

First-party Hermes Agent plugins from Nous Research, including Home Assistant, Spotify and a Claude provider

What Hermes Official Plugins does

The repository follows a lean-core design: Hermes keeps the agent loop, memory, skills, gateway, model routing and tool runtime, while anything specific to one product or vendor ships as a plugin. Official plugins are maintained by Nous Research and live here, one directory each, while community plugins stay in their authors' own repositories.

All plugins are listed in the Hermes plugin catalog, a reviewed index where each entry is pinned to a specific commit, so what you install is what was reviewed and updates move only when a new pin passes review. The catalog is browsed with hermes plugins search, and Hermes Desktop offers the same list under Capabilities then Plugins. Plugins described include Home Assistant, a gateway platform plus four tools for entities, state and services; Spotify, seven tools over the Spotify Web API where playback control needs Premium; and Claude Subscription DirectSDK, an experimental model provider. The license is MIT.
