"mapM_ putStrLn" needs a "[String]" as an argument,

but you try to give it an "IO [FilePath]" (i.e. IO [String]).
As you probably know, do-notation is syntactic sugar for the monad
operators, and you can rewrite your function thusly:
main = do dc <- getDirectoryContents "./foo/"
mapM_ putStrLn dc
=>
main = getDirectoryContents "./foo" >>= \dc -> mapM_ putStrLn dc
=>
main = getDirectoryContents "./foo" >>= mapM_ putStrLn
-k
