Hi @proper knoll. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To serve raw MDX files for a React component with Astro, you can use the is:raw directive. This directive instructs the Astro compiler to treat the contents of an element as raw text, ignoring any special Astro templating syntax.

Here's an example of how you can use is:raw with a custom component:

---
import CustomMDXComponent from '../components/CustomMDXComponent.astro';
---

<CustomMDXComponent is:raw>
  # My MDX Content

  This is some **MDX** content that will be treated as raw text.

  {/* JSX comments and expressions will be preserved */}

  <SomeReactComponent />
</CustomMDXComponent>

This approach allows you to pass raw MDX content to your React component without Astro processing it.

Additionally, if you need to work with MDX files directly, you should install the official MDX integration for Astro. This integration enables you to use .mdx files in your Astro project and provides support for using components within your MDX content.

To install the MDX integration, you can run the following command:

npx astro add mdx

After installation, you can import and use MDX files in your Astro components or pages.

For more detailed information on using MDX with Astro, you can refer to the MDX Integration Guide (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/integrations-guide/mdx/#installation).
