Arcade.dev LLM tools for Spotify
13tools
Arcade's Spotify toolkit lets LLMs interact with the Spotify API to control playback, search the catalog, and retrieve listening state on behalf of authenticated users.
Capabilities
- Playback control — pause, resume, skip to next/previous track, and seek to an absolute or relative position within the current track (with automatic boundary clamping)
- Playback initiation — start playback by track name, artist name (auto-queues four additional tracks by the same artist), or a list of track IDs
- Listening state inspection — retrieve current playback state (track/episode, active device, progress) and currently playing track details without triggering any side effects
- Device discovery — enumerate all available Spotify-connected devices for the authenticated user
- Catalog search — search Spotify with field filters (
album,artist,track,year,genre,isrc,upc,tag:new,tag:hipster) across multiple result types; supports single-year and year-range filters - Track lookup — fetch full metadata for a specific track by Spotify track ID

Adjust the playback position within the currently playing track.
Knowledge of the current playback state is NOT needed to use this tool as it handles
clamping the position to valid start/end boundaries to prevent overshooting or negative values.
This tool allows you to seek to a specific position within the currently playing track.
You can either provide an absolute position in milliseconds or a relative position from
the current playback position in milliseconds.
Note:
Either absolute_position_ms or relative_position_ms must be provided, but not both. | |||

Search Spotify catalog information
Explanation of the q parameter:
You can narrow down your search using field filters.
Available filters are album, artist, track, year, upc, tag:hipster, tag:new, isrc, and
genre. Each field filter only applies to certain result types.
The artist and year filters can be used while searching albums, artists and tracks.
You can filter on a single year or a range (e.g. 1955-1960).
The album filter can be used while searching albums and tracks.
The genre filter can be used while searching artists and tracks.
The isrc and track filters can be used while searching tracks.
The upc, tag:new and tag:hipster filters can only be used while searching albums.
The tag:new filter will return albums released in the past two weeks and tag:hipster
can be used to return only albums with the lowest 10% popularity.
Example: q="remaster track:Doxy artist:Miles Davis" | |||
