Personally I wouldn't, but my opinion doesn't matter.

Does TDD help you? If so, use it! If not, don't! The whole point of an MVP is to ship something ASAP. Do whatever helps you do that.

Personally I've found TDD to be a tremendous waste of time for most things, but I know some people swear by it. It's your product. Git 'er done in whatever way you've learned to get things done.

Edited to add: People talk a lot about TDD leading to more maintainable, less coupled code. There's more than one way to skin a cat—not using TDD doesn't necessarily doom your codebase, and using TDD won't necessarily save it. Like I said, do whatever works for you.
