It can be found in the GDB user guide, not the internals manual. It is
under chapter 24. Quoting from the start of this chapter:

"gdb/mi is a line based machine oriented text interface to gdb and is
activated by specifying
using the '--interpreter' command line option (see Section 2.1.2 [Mode
Options], page 13).
It is specifically intended to support the development of systems
which use the debugger as
just one small component of a larger system."

Hope that helps.
