In general, it is necessary that Skype be on the server alone, but there is no GUI on the server?

Considering that this rubbish does not work without apulse, then what else can we talk about? ..

Skype had its own API, but they planned to cover it up and / or make it paid.
Previously (about 5 years ago) DBUS was used for access, since Skype was first written in Delphi and rewritten in Qt.
In principle, nothing prevents you from running x under the xvfb virtual framebuffer and enjoying life.
At worst, Skype has a web interface where you can click Selenium.

And how do you imagine it? Skype is a deeply proprietary creation, a GUI, with completely closed protocols ... and in general Skype is a mysterious program ... that raises many questions.
Do you have a browser on your server somehow?
You can use Skype: WEB-interface
If you go all the way to insanity, you can see how the WEB-interface will look like in a text browser, such as Lynx.
Alternatively, you can run Skype on your server, but either by pointing it to a remote X server, or (easier) directing X through an SSH tunnel ... at least to the other side of the planet.
