In my case, it was a missing reference. When you upgrade to EntityFramework 6, you need to add a reference to the assembly

System.Data.Entity

I think it's because MySql.Data.Entity.EF6 inherits from a bunch of stuff in this assembly, that it did not for previous version of EF.

When your app.config is good and all your references seem fine, it's a solution worth checking.
