just try it -)

   mptopdf figures.mp

should work; if you're code is not that latex specific,

\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startMPpage
   fill fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor red ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

and "texexec --pdf thatfile.tex" is an option as well. In that case you also 
have access to features like shading, transparency, etc
