Place MDFramed in header only on first page

Question

I'd like to place an MDFramed object inside my header only on the first page of the document. I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

\documentclass[11pt,oneside,a4paper,titlepage]{article}

\usepackage[showframe, includehead,top=5mm, margin=.5in]{geometry}

        }%
    \savebox0{%

        \end{varwidth}%
    }%
    \begin{mdframed}[

        \usebox0
    \end{mdframed}
}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\begin{document}

\item $\int_{2}^{5} \frac{1}{\sqrt{5-x}} \dd{x}$\vspace{6cm}
\item $\int_{4}^{\infty} e^{-\frac{x}{2}} \dd{x}$\vspace{6cm}
\item $\int_{2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^3} \dd{x}$\vspace{6cm}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

here is what I'm attempint to do

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[R]{
\begin{figure}
\begin{MyMdframed}[backgroundcolor=gray!20]
{\LARGE\bfseries Calc 2 Study Guide for Final}
\end{MyMdframed}
\end{figure} 
\thepage}

so that the actual mdframe will apear in the header of the document.

Not sure what the desired result is. The MyMdframed title is only on the first page. — Peter Grill, Dec 02 '21 at 02:22

You need to eliminate the figure environment as this is not intended to float and also do a conditional \ifnum\thepage=1 to enure it is only output in the first page.

\fancyhead[R]{%
    \ifnum\thepage=1
    \begin{MyMdframed}[backgroundcolor=gray!20]
        {\LARGE\bfseries Calc 2 Study Guide for Final}
    \end{MyMdframed}%
    \fi
    \thepage%
}
