Description
The COIN-OR initiative has two solvers for Mixed-Integer programming written in C++. Bonmin seems to be the more basic and Couenne is an extension aimed at finding global optima. They both can use Ipopt for solving nonlinear programs which is already included in mp-opt-model. Wrapping these projects might allow MINLP support to be added and MOST to support AC OPF. There is a MEX interface for Bonmin included in the OPTI project that may be some use:

There doesn't seem to be an open source MEX interface for Couenne available. Perhaps the Bonmin interface can be adapted.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Ipopt integration in mp-opt-model and the Bonmin MEX sources linked from the OPTI project. Compare what would be needed for Bonmin and Couenne, including whether the Bonmin interface can be adapted. Done means adding a usable solver wrapper that enables MINLP support and can be evaluated for MOST AC OPF.
