This is a moOde development thread, not a support thread. (see my earlier post).

However, since you asked, certain apps such as mconnectLite, mconnect, BubbleUPnP, and BubbleDS can access certain commercial streaming music services (Qobuz and TIDAL in particiular) directly. They refer to them variously as  "Internet Music" or "Cloud" library. In this mode, moOde is strictly the UPnP Rendererer and no upmpdcli plugin is required.

The upmpdcli-tidal plugin allows moOde itself to act as a proxy UPnP Media Server for TIDAL (in the same way as the upmpdcli-qobuz plugin behavies for Qobuz). In this mode, any UPnP Control Point, not just the mconnect or Bubble products can access the commercal streaming service.via the moOde UPnP mediaserver, aka a local UPnP Media Server. There are other distinctions but this isn't the thread to discuss them in.
