The most recent version of socket.io (0.9.16) is AMD compatible, so you don't need to do much at all. For my application the socket.io server is on a different domain, so we can include the path argument to pull the script from the correct location, but if it's on the same domain you could just require \socket.io\socket.io.

    // socket.io serves up the script ready to go. socket.io.js has the following lines:
    // if (typeof define === "function" && define.amd) {
    //   define([], function () { return io; });
    // }

    // All we need to do is tell it the path to our server:
    require.config({
        paths: {
            socketio: 'http://my.cross.domain.server.com/socket.io/socket.io'
        }
    });

    require(['socketio'], function(io) {
        var socket = io.connect('my.cross.domain.server.com');
        console.log('socket connected');
    });
