The Kerr-MOG geometry is characterized by the black hole mass, the spin parameter $a$, and the modified gravity parameter $\alpha$. We analyze how the presence of the MOG parameter modifies the spacetime structure and the location of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO). Within the Novikov--Thorne accretion disk model, we show that $\alpha$ significantly affects the radiative efficiency of accretion disks and introduces a degeneracy between the spin and the modified gravity parameter. Using observational estimates of radiative efficiencies inferred from the continuum-fitting method, we constrain the allowed regions in the $(a,\alpha)$ parameter space for each source. We further examine the relativistic jet power using the Blandford--Znajek mechanism and compare the theoretical predictions with the observed transient jet energetics, considering two representative jet Lorentz factors, $\Gamma=2$ and $\Gamma=5$. By combining the constraints from the radiative efficiency and jet power, we identify regions where both observables can be simultaneously reproduced. For several sources significant overlap regions appear, while for the highly spinning source GRS1915+105 the compatibility occurs only within a narrow range of Kerr--MOG parameters. These results suggest that the Kerr--MOG spacetime can provide a viable framework for interpreting the observed properties of several black hole X-ray binaries.
