Hi,

Does any vendor support the MPLS for native IPv6 network?
I was working on one testing scenario where I have Cisco 7200 routers and
whole network is running only IPv6 and I wanted to run MPLS on the top of
that but I found MPLS is not supported on IPv6 networks? is that true?

would say it's possible.

However (I'm not an expert at MPLS so forgive me if I'm wrong) isn't MPLS at a lower level and you run IP on top of it? That seems to be what
initial research indicates. See the NANOG talk archives for lots of MPLS presentations.
