You can't just invent a video signal. So a USB to HDMI adapter will not help you.

If your system does not have onboard graphics then you need an external GPU.

Your best solution is to just buy a cheap GPU and leave it in the server permanently.

Yea figured as much also thought there may be a usb that would have like a Hot swapable graphics

Like when you plug in the usb the usb has graphics then when you remove it the pc looses its graphics

Don't get me wrong, you can transmit video over USB 3 or thunderbolt (USB-C), but you still need to generate the video stream and for that you will need a Graphics device on your system.

You can buy an external GPU, however it will be far more expensive than a simple GT730 or 1030.
