No idea.  But it should be a matter of a simple search of the relevant
sites, no?

You can find a few by searching the Internet.  I found these:

  Harlequin RIP (Raster Image Processor) -- not a surprise, since MPS
       was originally developed by Harlequin

  Open Dylan (also from Harlequin, so no surprises) offers MPS as a
       build option (https://opendylan.org/release-notes/2019.1.html)

  Clasp (https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp), a Common Lisp
       implementation that seamlessly interoperates with C++ libraries

  Configura Magic (CM),
       https://support.configura.com/hc/en-us/sections/360008682434-CM-Language,
       an object-oriented language
