Download Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 from this link and create a project there. These projects can be connected to from VS 2012.

I figured out that the reason this throws the error message because the Team Explorer and TFS should be aligned with same version. In my context, I was using Team Explorer 2012 which ships with VS 2012 against a TFS Express 2013.

Team Explorer Version and the TFS Version should be the same to avoid this error appearing.

There were few things you could do,

As @madannes mentioned in his post above to use Team Explorer Everywhere

and

As Vivek Bansod explains in the MSDN Forum, I used the Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 (The shell version of VS 2013), to create a Team Project and then continued to Add Solution, Check-In and Check-Out operation against TFS Express 2013.

Sounds like you need an updated version of Team Explorer (the connector between VS and TFS) since you are using TFS 2013 and VS 2012. VS 2012 ships with Team Explorer 2012 which can connect to TFS 2012 and earlier versions.

Take a look at the compatibility charts: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997788.aspx

Perhaps you need Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30661
