Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Chking this script with shellcheck shows this comment

script if [ ! -z /dev/shm/mc_all_keys_${MCSERVER}_${MCPORT}.txt ];then
^-- SC2157: Argument to -z is always false due to literal strings.

and indeed the man page for test says

   -z STRING
          the length of STRING is zero

So the question is .. is -z the correct operator?

When I invoke this script interactively with a single argument like "stats" it produces the result but does not close the connection.
I have to use control-C to exit. Everything else is ignored (including the nc command quit)

Perhaps you want to use a HERE statement where the passed argument is expanded and quit appended.
That way the connection closes after doing the required command.
Example
#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -u

command="stats"
nc "myhostname" 11211 << END_OF_INPUT
$command
quit
END_OF_INPUT

perhaps..

Or even allow multiple commands enclosing each one in quotes if they have spaces like "stat" "second cmd" ... "stat"
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
set -u
#
arr_command=( $@ )
( IFS=$'\n'; echo "${arr_command[]}" )
nc "myservername" 11211 << END_OF_INPUT
$( IFS=$'\n'; echo "${arr_command[]}" )
quit
END_OF_INPUT
