Can I use TFS API in my code and deploy the code in the machine where Visual Studio or Team Explorer doesn’t exist?
I found this, which says I shouldn’t do that.
Any help on this? Thanks!

You could use the new OData API, or the standard WebService API (officially unsupported) to connect to TFS without the need for the SDK or Team Explorer on the machine.
And there’s the Java API‘s that ship with Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 SP1, which are supposedly easier to use in stand-alone fashion than the .NET API’s that require Team Explorer to be installed.
Do note that in order to follow the proper license terms, you generally do need to have a TFS CAL for every machine/user connecting to TFS.
