Not really no.
If your monitor supports HDMI, you can just plug your xbox into that.
PCs don't have any video INPUTS though, not by default.
There is hardware that will receive a video signal, but that's meant for streaming/recording gameplay, and not actually playing the game as there will be a slight delay. It's also not cheap.

XBox One has a pass through feature intended for TV boxes. You could try connecting the Xbox to your monitor and then connect the pc to the Xbox. When you want the pc just switch over to Guide.

My only doubt is if the Xbox pass through introduces lag but you can try it.

If you have $4 and a VGA port on your monitor to spare, I recommend getting this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quality-HDMI-female-to-VGA-Converter-Adapter-1080P-With-Audio-Cable-For-TV-lot-D/112221782051?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=412534339313&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
