Type class instances M[T] are usually defined in the companion object
of M or T. Look at the sources/scaladoc for these in the first
instance. You need to know a bit about the structure of Scalaz to know
to look in Semigroup/Zero; but once you know the pattern you can apply
it to other type classes.

Another tool is the REPL, run implicitly[Monoid[String]] to check if
something is defined.
