Hi Gerard,
that's because of a change in ConTeXts metapost, you can use
\startMPpage
<Your MP Code here>
\stopMPpage
MetaPost from ConTeXt is not able without big changes to run standalone,
so you might need to load the MetaPost version from TeXlive, the way how
to do so depends on your OS...
Greetings
