Methods and systems are used for providing a generic command line interface to an extensible list of cloud platform services. As an example, a generic command request including a command and command input data is received from a client. A platform service for the command is determined based on command metadata associated with the command. The command input data is mapped to a platform service application programming interface (API) associated with the platform service based on the command metadata associated with the command. The platform service API is called based on the mapping. Response data from the platform service API is mapped to command output data in a generic command response based on the command metadata associated with the command. The generic command response is transmitted to the client.
