This one works for me now.

(gdb) interpreter-exec mi "-gdb-show data-directory"
^done,value="/usr/share/gdb"

Yeah, seems to treat this as a CLI command

This one is unclear to me.  Maybe you're testing the command
interactively and would like the pager.
Nowadays you can run:

with pagination off -- command

Or even stick a "server" prefix on there as well.

I do not remember what I had in mind four years ago.
