I'm having the same issue. It appears that you must add the following to your web.config, however, for me this causes the w3wp.exe process to crash (and the web server in visual studio, for local requests). It doesn't seem like something that is happening to anyone else, so it might work for you (make sure to insert the actual version of the profiler you are using).

<system.data>
  <DbProviderFactories>
    <remove invariant="MvcMiniProfiler.Data.ProfiledDbProvider" />
    <add name="MvcMiniProfiler.Data.ProfiledDbProvider" invariant="MvcMiniProfiler.Data.ProfiledDbProvider" description="MvcMiniProfiler.Data.ProfiledDbProvider" type="MvcMiniProfiler.Data.ProfiledDbProviderFactory, MvcMiniProfiler, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b44f9351044011a3" />
  </DbProviderFactories>
</system.data>

Try like this:

var connectionString = ConfigurationManager
    .ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"]
    .ConnectionString;
var ecsb = new EntityConnectionStringBuilder(connectionString);
var sqlConn = new SqlConnection(ecsb.ProviderConnectionString);
var pConn = ProfiledDbConnection.Get(sqlConn, MiniProfiler.Current);
var context = ObjectContextUtils.CreateObjectContext<CYEntities>(pConn);
