It's easy to get wrapped around the axle when dealing with streaming services and UPnP. It all depends on who's the source.
The cool feature of upmpdcli's streaming services plugins is that they use the upmpdcli media server as a local proxy for the remote streaming-service's server. The control point app need know nothing about the streaming service, it simply reads the information on the local media server. When directed to by the control point, moOde (via upmpdcli) renders the stream from the remote streaming-service's server.
For example, I use only a Tidal account in testing moOde's UPnP services. I've entered my Tidal credentials into moOde's UPnP Config panel. In my control point apps, I see a Tidal folder among when I set my moOde player as the media server (e.g., "Library").
I don't know what Linn has folded into Kazoo (for testing purposes, I have this app along with a slew of others but I test it only against what upmpdcli offers). If they have done what BubbleUPnP has done, which is make their app the proxy media server for remote streaming services, then upmpdcli need not have any special features. It's simply a UPnP renderer.
I was able to use BubbleUPnP for this purpose at least a year ago by giving it (not moOde) my Tidal credentials. Whatever version of upmpdcli we were using in moOde then was good enough.
