The proper indent file is
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/indent/mp.vim

You need to make sure to have `:filetype plugin inden on` in your .vimrc
to make it become active for mp files. However, it is certainly
possible, that it does not work perfectly for you. You might therefore
ask the maintainer of the file (see the top) if he can fix an issue you
have.
