It's an old thread, but in case anyone is looking for how to add tooltips to lines, this works:

x2 = np.array([10,110], int)
y = np.array([0,100], int)

mpld3.plugins.connect(f, mpld3.plugins.LineLabelTooltip(line[0], label='label 1'))

line = ax.plot(x2, y)
mpld3.plugins.connect(f, mpld3.plugins.LineLabelTooltip(line[0], label='label 2'))

mpld3.show()
