just mnake a tex file, say figure-001.tex

\startMPpage
%     fill fullcircle scaled 10cm ;
%     draw textext("test \sl test") ;
     draw btex test \sl test etex ;
\stopMPpage

and run that one

context figure-001

this is probably the easiest way

(the context commands will run context mkiv which uses the mplib 
linbrary; you can use texexec instead but it's a bit slower and you 
might need to wrap the code in \starttext ... \stoptext)
