Does it help if you run the following command first?
texexec --make mptopdf
(it should or at least used to be used in past)

Thank you Mojca,
Your idea did help for minimal examples. I get conflicts with more elaborate files (even the dreaded 'cannot make .mpx file') sometimes using either suggestions so...
retraining my fingers to put MP code in \startMPpage is the direction I will take because it gives the best looking forward result for me.

Thank you Hans. It works (no surprise) but now I will have to script it to save typing!

Compiling with just mpost or using a context \startMPcode wra
pper works, e.g.:

Is there something extra needed to use mptopdf with only context minimal?
Experimenting with having just context standalone on mac osx:
Compiling with just mpost or using a context \startMPcode wrapper works, e.g.:
beginfig(1);
draw origin--(100,100);
endfig;
end
works with command line mpost %
This is MetaPost, version 1.801 (kpathsea version 6.1.1dev)
(mpost.mp (/users/johnkitzmiller/context/tex/texmf/metapost/base/plain.mp
Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.004) ) (./mwe.mp [1] )
1 output file written: mwe.1
Transcript written on mwe.log.
and...
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw origin--(100,100);
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
works with command context %
But using mptopdf on the first snippet complains:
MPtoPDF 1.4.1 : running 'mpost --mem=mpost mwe.mp'
This is MetaPost, version 1.801 (kpathsea version 6.1.1dev)
(mpost.mp (/users/johnkitzmiller/context/tex/texmf/metapost/base/plain.mp

I can't find the format file `mptopdf.fmt'!

(Note: I do not have TeX Live 2013 installed. The message from line 7 gave me some hints and I created the directory and put mptopdf.fmt from a pdftex --ini mptopdf command … no luck)
Turning $PATH off from ~/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin mptopdf % gives:

as I have been using. How to get mptopdf working from command line with just minimals?
