Is there a minimum node version required for this?

You have to add frontmatter to your MDX files. It's where the theme derives the page/component title from, as well as the category/menu it's grouped under in the sidebar.

From the README:

In order for your component data to show up, you need an MDX file for the component - and the page name and component name in the docblock need to match.

/**
 * ComponentTitle
**/
class ComponentName extends React.Component {}

---
name: ComponentTitle
menu: CategoryName
