Don't know that this is a 'need to' thing or not -- probably not.
But it's something I did the first time I worked with MDF and I liked the way it turned out -- so -- I still do it.

I use a sandable primer --common in autobody work and model building - but available at the big boxes if you look hard.
It has some 'body' to it so it fills in the porous sides of the MDF -- then - a light sanding with some extra fine paper - and you should have edges as smooth as your top.
