It variant between version/sku of the chipset, which version as its own set of 
features.
One of the main used of MEI is for computer manageability, to provide a local 
interface to the ME coprocessor.
Some of the Intel manageability solution involve application running on the 
local machine.

You can read more about this in:

>No docs describing the interface?


Which type of information are you looking? The HW interface?
