Hello Kakao/PlayMCP team,
I am a developer based in Türkiye. I created a valid Kakao Account using my Turkish mobile number (+90) and I am over 14 years old.
During PlayMCP onboarding, I receive the following message:
“If you are 14 years old or older, please verify your identity and try again.”
My Kakao Account birthday is correctly registered, but Korean carrier-based identity verification is not available to me because I am not a Korean resident and do not have a Korean mobile subscription.
Could you please confirm the supported onboarding method for overseas developers?
Specifically, is there:
- alternative identity/age verification for foreign developers,
- passport or manual verification,
- account approval/whitelisting,
- or another official route to register and publish an MCP server on PlayMCP?
Our intention is to develop legitimate MCP services connecting Türkiye and Korea.
Thank you.
안녕하세요. 위 문의는 해외 개발자의 PlayMCP 가입 및 본인인증 문제에 관한 내용입니다.
저는 튀르키예에 거주하며 +90 휴대전화 번호로 카카오계정을 사용하고 있습니다. 만 14세 이상이지만 PlayMCP 가입 과정에서 본인인증을 요구받아 진행할 수 없습니다.
한국 휴대전화 번호나 외국인등록번호가 없는 해외 개발자를 위한 공식적인 대체 인증 방법, 수동 인증, 계정 승인 또는 PlayMCP MCP 서버 등록을 위한 별도 절차가 있는지 확인 부탁드립니다.
감사합니다.
Hello,
We apologize for the delayed response.
In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, PlayMCP restricts access to users under the age of 14. To ensure this, users are required to complete identity verification during registration, and only users who are verified as being 14 or older can register for and use the service.
However, our identity verification process is only available through Korean mobile carriers. As a result, foreign users who are unable to complete identity verification through a Korean mobile carrier may have difficulty accessing PlayMCP. We kindly ask for your understanding regarding this limitation.
If you would like to inquire about whether any alternative support may be available in your case, we recommend reaching out to us through the PlayMCP Discord channel.
Thank you for your understanding.
