Currently, there are two kind of bindings:

Internal: can be used from inside of mpv only.
External: can't control the mpv command line player, but can be used to implement new applications that use libmpv as backend for video playback.

Both of them use the libmpv client API: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/libmpv/client.h
