The use of the different possibilities of including metapost graphics in ConTeXt are described in the METAFUN-manual on pages 9, 81-82, 115
For your refernce I attach a small demo file using your code ...
Kind regards Willi

Hello,
The following code results in no label output:
\starttext \startMPcode label.top(btex Some label etex, (1cm,1cm)) ; \stopMPcode \stoptext
I'm using ConTeXt 2003.12.12.
By the way, why don't \startMPgraphic and \stopMPgraphic do anything?
\setupoutput[pdftex] \starttext
